Biography: Thierry Henry is a French footballer and coach best known for his time at Arsenal where he became the all-time leading scorer. Henry won major titles both at club and international levels, including the 1998 FIFA World Cup. After retiring as a player, he moved into coaching and media punditry.

Henry began his career at Monaco under Arsene Wenger, where he won Ligue 1 in the 1996-1997 season. A brief spell at Juventus followed before moving to Arsenal in 1999, where he achieved two Premier League titles and became the club's all-time top scorer. He later starred for Barcelona, securing a treble in 2008-2009, and finished his playing days at New York Red Bulls, winning a Supporters' Shield.

On the international stage with France, Henry triumphed in the 1998 World Cup and Euro 2000. He set France's goal-scoring record in October 2007—which remained until December 2022—before retiring internationally after the 2010 World Cup.

Transitioning into a coaching role, Henry worked with Arsenal's youth teams and the Belgian national team, helping them secure third place in the 2018 World Cup. He held head coach positions at AS Monaco and Montreal Impact before returning to media punditry for CBS Sports and Amazon Prime Video.

After a marriage that ended in divorce, he had three children with partner Andrea Rajačić. Off the pitch he actively campaigns against racism in football and is engaged in various charitable causes.

He has been included in the FIFA 100 list, inducted into the English Football Hall of Fame, and added to the Premier League Hall of Fame, holding several records. His Premier League records include the most assists in a single season.
