Legendary French forward Thierry Henry has officially confirmed his retirement from professional football, though a new career path seems set for him at the moment.
Besides announcing his departure from the game, Henry has also confirmed his new role as Sky Sports’ football expert, in a deal that is believed to be worth about 25 million pounds.
“I’ve been fortunate enough to have had an amazing playing career with many incredible memories and now I can’t wait for the next chapter to begin with Sky Sports,” Thierry Henry said.
“I played for some of the best teams in football and now I’m joining what I think is the best team in television. I’m looking forward to joining the guys and helping to provide Sky Sports viewers with the best possible analysis. I can’t wait.”
The Frenchman is widely known around the world for his influential stint with Arsenal, where he was a part of their historic title winning “Invincible” back in 2014. He’s still Arsenal’s all time leading goalscorer till this date as well.
Henry then left Arsenal to join Barcelona in 2007, winning six trophies in one season, under the impeccable tutelage of Pep Guardiola. Red Bull NY came hunting after his services later on, and Henry went on to spent the last four seasons in the MLS before recently announcing his departure.
