Former Arsenal, Barcelona and France striker Thierry Henry
has been named as an assistant manager of Belgium.
He joins the coaching team of Roberto Martinez, who
replaced Marc Wilmots at the start of August.
“Thierry is an important figure,” said former Everton boss
Martinez. “He will bring something different. He agreed
right away to join us.”
Henry, 39, tweeted: “Honoured to be assistant coach, very
excited, can’t wait.”
Henry will work alongside Graeme Jones, who served with
Martinez at Swansea, Wigan and Everton.
Martinez also named his first senior squad on Friday, ahead
of their friendly against Spain on Thursday 1 September.
The Spaniard took over from Wilmots, who was sacked
after Belgium were beaten 3-1 by Wales in the quarter-
finals of Euro 2016.
