Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta believes Arsenal legend Thierry Henry can have a successful coaching career.
Laporta is convinced the Frenchman's experience at the top level of the game makes him an ideal candidate to succeed Arsene Wenger at Arsenal.
“The same requirements we were appreciating in Pep Guardiola when we decided to put him as a coach of the first team, Thierry has many of them," Laporta told the Telegraph.
“If he wants to become a coach and more specifically wants to coach Arsenal, then it is because he is convinced he will do it very well because he is looking for excellence all the time -- just as when he was a player.
“He knows football, as one of the best players in the world. These kinds of people, like Pep Guardiola and Johan Cruyff, they know very well football. They don't need the extended period maybe that other coaches need to be a great coach.
“He knows Arsenal, the supporters, the club and he's a guy that deserves everything he would like to achieve. I believe he could be a very good coach. For him, with his reputation, it's not acceptable to fail."
