Thierry Henry will not coach Arsenal's Under-18 side having opted to continue in his role as a television pundit.

The former Gunners striker had worked with Arsenal's academy players last season during his course to gain his UEFA A Licence.

The 38-year-old, who works on Sky's Premier League coverage and also appeared on the BBC's Euro 2016 output, was offered a role within the Arsenal set-up by manager Arsene Wenger - but was told he would have to step down as a pundit.

Wenger has a history of aiding his former players, with Steve Bould currently his assistant and Freddie Ljungberg working within the youth ranks.
