Thierry Henry admits that he would jump at the chance to manage Arsenal, but is currently focused on his coaching role with the Belgium national side.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has admitted that it would be a "dream" to manage the club, amid fresh calls from supporters for long-serving boss Arsene Wenger to step down.

Wenger's side lost Sunday afternoon's EFL Cup final 3-0 to Manchester City - their heaviest ever defeat in a final - and are now left battling for success in the Europa League.

Out of the FA Cup and 10 points adrift of fourth in the Premier League, the pressure is once again on the French boss after his side's display at Wembley was labelled "a disgrace" by Gary Neville.

Henry, who is currently a member of the Belgium national team's coaching setup, would be open to succeeding Wenger in the hotseat should his tenure finally come to an end in the summer.

"I still have a job to do with Belgium, but let's see what's going to happen," he told Sky Sports News. "It will be a dream for me, but I'm still with Belgium.

"Interested? Yes, who wouldn't be? But I can't talk about that out of respect for the man that is in charge still and my job that I'm doing right now with Belgium. But who wouldn't be interested?"

Henry is Arsenal's all-time leading scorer and has previously worked at the club as an Under-18s coach.
