Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger admits Thierry Henry may find life a little more difficult now he has ended his time as a player.
The great French striker announced his retirement from professional football on Monday after a fabled two-decade career at the top and will now turn his attentions to punditry with Sky Sports.
Such was Henry's impact as a player at Arsenal, Barcelona and more recently with MLS club New York Red Bulls, that Wenger is afraid the World Cup winner may struggle to replicate off the pitch what he achieved on it.
"I congratulate him on what he did," Wenger told RMC.
"Life doesn't stop now. Unfortunately for him, I think he will have to be extremely strong to have the same success in his new life that he had as a player."
However, Wenger feels that Henry's vast knowledge of the game will help him step into the coaching caper if he chooses to do so in the future.
"Henry a coach? He has to learn the job," Wenger continued. "Why not? He has to choose.
"You have to learn your job and for this, you have to be the head of a team."
