Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists Thierry Henry will eventually return to the club.

The Frenchman announced his retirement this week and will take up a lucrative role with Sky Sports.

Wenger said: "He will end up at Arsenal one day. Coach? Manager? Director? I don't know.

"I think that first he has to take a step back and think about what he really wants to do in his new life.

"To be a coach you need to sacrifice your life. What is certain is that Thierry will stay in football. He will be a pundit of huge quality in the media."
