Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has been offered a long-term contract by French league side Bordeaux to become their Head coach.

According to Sky Sports, Henry has asked the Ligue 1 club for time to consider the offer and he said he will decide over the weekend.

Henry during the summer announced he was leaving his role as a Sky Sports pundit to focus on coaching.

The former French striker was linked with Aston Villa in the English Championship, however, no deal materialised.

Henry played in the Ligue 1 with Monaco for five years from 1995-1999.

Henry won 123 caps for France and 254 appearances for Arsenal. He also featured for Barcelona and New York Red Bull.
