Thierry Henry has left Arsenal after manager Arsene Wenger said he could not combine his job as a television pundit with his role coaching the under-18s.

The 38-year-old Henry, who worked with Arsenal's youth players as part of his Uefa A Licence course, was not prepared to give up his media work.

Former Gunners captain Tony Adams, 49, will take over as under-18s coach.

Steve Bould will remain as Wenger's assistant while Freddie Ljungberg will work with the under-16s.

Henry, Arsenal's all-time leading scorer, must now find a team to coach in order to complete his Pro Licence.

The former France forward is employed as a television pundit by Sky Sports and worked for BBC Sport during Euro 2016.
