Thierry Henry is set to step into an official coaching role with Arsenal.

According to Goal.com, the North London club's all-time leading scorer will become assistant coach of the Gunners' U18 side next season.

After the announcement that Frans De Kat will leave the job to return to Holland with a role in the KNVB (Dutch Football Federation), it is believed that Kwame Ampadu will take over and Frenchman Henry will act as his right-hand man.

Henry, 38, completed his UEFA 'A' coaching license in March and has been working with Arsenal youth teams this season.
