Thierry Henry insists he's not short of coaching inspiration as he takes charge of AS Monaco.

The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker has spoken of the influences of Arsene Wenger and Pep Guardiola, but he also looked further back to his days at Clairefontaine.

Henry told RMC: "I learned from all my coaches. Arsène taught me a lot. He made me understand what it meant to be a pro. Be efficient.

"Many French people have taught me, including the school of Nantes, Arribas, Denoueix, Suaudeau. They too were ahead of their time. They invented the transition game for me. I do not forget Clairefontaine either. In Clairefontaine, they open your brain, they make you understand football."
