Ex-Arsenal boss Wenger urges Monaco to give Henry time

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger says AS Monaco need to give Thierry Henry time.

Since Henry took over managing the French side on October 13, they have recorded a draw and two losses in Ligue 1, and have crashed out of the Champions League following a thumping 4-0 home loss to Club Brugge.

But Wenger told beIN Sports: “He has the right understanding, the right knowledge [to do well as a manager]. The first impact [of a new manager] is psychologically positive."

He continued: “At the moment, the bad luck for him is that the first impact has not worked, so he will have to be given time - that is the most important thing for him.

“He will get it right if he is given time."
