He might have been linked with several jobs elsewhere this summer, but Thierry Henry is back with the Belgium National Squad ahead of their upcoming friendly against Scotland tomorrow.
The former Arsenal striker was all set to make his first steps in football management after reports in France confirmed that he has agreed to take over as manager of Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, but those talks broke down last week.

Henry was also strongly linked with the managerial post at Aston Villa this summer and again, those links never materialised.
Maybe he should have come out of retirement judging by these ridiculous skills?
Henry quit his role as a Sky Sports pundit after the World Cup as he wanted to concentrate in taking the next steps in his management career and didn't believe he could do that whilst juggling a career in the TV studio.

The former Arsenal forward was in Russia in the summer and was instrumental as Roberto Martinez' assistant manager in helping Belgium reach the semi-final of the World Cup.
Now he will be looking to make an impact on the side ahead of their clash against Scotland, alongside Shaun Maloney of all people.
Former boss Arsene Wenger confirmed that Henry wanted the vacant role at Bordeaux. "Yes, he wants to do it," Wenger told Corse Matin.

"He is intelligent and he has the qualities. The existential question that we always ask ourselves is whether we are ready to sacrifice our life for the coaching profession."
Do you think Henry would be a good manager?
