Thierry Henry will interview for the manager's job at Arsenal on Monday.
The Daily Mail says Henry will not take a coaching role at Arsenal but will speak to the club's board over the managerial position as Mikel Arteta considers a verbal offer to succeed Arsene Wenger.
Henry is set to meet with the Gunners hierarchy but that will not be with a view to becoming part of Arteta's backroom team.
Henry wants the top job and, while Arteta is in advanced talks and almost certain to be confirmed as the new boss, the club's record goalscorer is keen to present his ideas on Monday.
Both former Arsenal players completed their UEFA Pro coaching qualification through the Football Association of Wales this week.
