MLS News | |||||
Monday, 01 December 2014 08:18 | |||||
Thierry Henry has played his last game for New York Red Bulls after it was announced the French striker won't be heading back to the MLS franchise in 2015. The football world awaits his next move. Continue for updates.
Tuesday, Dec. 2 Wenger Guarantees Henry Arsenal Return Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he is not yet sure what Henry is planning following his Red Bulls departure, but he did promise Gunners fans that the legendary forward will return to the club in the future:
Monday, Dec. 1 Henry Confirms Red Bulls Exit New York Red Bulls provided a significant update on the 37-year-old's future: Henry released an official statement via his Facebook account, as tweeted by Eurosport: The likeable player was recently unable to guide the Red Bulls to the MLS Cup Final and bowed out suffering a 4-3 aggregate loss to New England. Interestingly, this announcement comes shortly after Henry vowed to win the Champions League with former club Arsenal. "Whether I see that from afar or up close is not up to me, but it's sure that I would like to help, because it's my club and as a player I wasn't able to bring them the Champions League," said the Gunners legend, reported by ESPN. As a minor tidbit, he changed his Facebook header image to a photo of the Emirates Stadium—where he is immortalised in bronze—shortly after making his announcement. Although Henry's next move is yet to be revealed, the forward also confirmed he is "certain" he will remain in football, per ESPN's report. The prolific striker is yet to suggest he will hang up his playing boots and could land himself one final contract before calling time on an illustrious career. Jonathan Johnson of ESPN FC wonders whether he will return to where it all started: Henry's career with club and country has been laden with success. He captured the Ligue 1 title with Monaco before landing the World Cup and Euro 2000 with France. His time at Arsenal yielded two Premier League titles, three FA Cups and two Community Shields, but he was unable to grasp the elusive Champions League trophy. Until he arrived in Barcelona, at least. Henry added the European title alongside the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Club World Cup while at the Camp Nou. Domestically, he enjoyed two La Liga titles, the Copa del Rey and Spanish Super Cup. He became the second high-profile player to the MLS in 2010, following in David Beckham's footsteps. Once settled, he captured a duo of MLS Eastern Conference championships and the 2013 MLS Supporters' Shield. Henry has played alongside the likes of Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira, Xavi, Lionel Messi and many other greats. He remained a significant outlet to success during his last season with Red Bulls, highlighted by ESPN FC: The same publication also provided a rundown of his best goals in the United States: The veteran striker became a tremendous goalscorer at Arsenal—largely thanks to Arsene Wenger's decision to move him away from the wing—a trait he has carried through the rest of his career. Gunners supporters will remember the stunning flick and volley against Manchester United, his scintillating run against Tottenham and brilliant goal away at Real Madrid, all of which are among his career highlights to date: Plenty of teams are sure to offer Henry a role. Not only is he an era-defining footballer, he is a calm and clear speaker who could be excellent in a coaching role. Wenger previously called upon his experience with a loan back to Arsenal in 2012, in which he had a morale-boosting impact on the pitch. Perhaps he could do the same on the sidelines.
