Former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry has revealed that he would jump at the chance of succeeding Arsene Wenger as manager.

The 37-year-old won two Premier League titles and three FA Cups during eight years with the Gunners.

Since retiring from playing last year Henry has been touted as a potential successor to his former boss, but the Frenchman has admitted that he is not ready yet.

"If I am in my dreams, I would say to myself that I would like to come back to Arsenal," Henry told The Express.

"But life doesn't work like that. I know football, but will I be able to educate someone? I don't know yet. I just want to learn how. I am preparing myself, that is it.

"After that, I don't know if I will have the opportunity or not. I became an Arsenal fan and I truly love Arsenal so yes I would like to succeed Wenger but I am not there, so, calm yourselves down."

Henry called time on his career in December following a stint with the New York Red Bulls.
