Thierry Henry reportedly holds talks to become the new manager of the Egyptian national football team.

Thierry Henry has reportedly held talks to become the new manager of the Egyptian national football team.

The Arsenal legend was an assistant to Belgium boss Roberto Martinez at the World Cup in Russia, helping to lead the national side to third-place – their best ever finish.

Former goalkeeper Nader El-Sayed, now a player agent, claims to have met with the Frenchman's agent to discuss the potential appointment by Egyptian Football Association.

"We had a meeting with Thierry Henry's agent in London," El-Sayed told a local radio station.

"Henry is waiting [to hear about] the EFA's project for the team before deciding on the offer, apart from the economic aspect.

"The Mexican coach (Juan Carlos Osorio) was one of the candidates, however the EFA haven't contacted me over him."

Henry recently departed his role as a television pundit for Sky Sports in order to focus on his coaching career and last month was linked with replacing Steve Bruce at Aston Villa.
