Football star Thierry Henry quits
professional soccer
French soccer star Thierry Henry has announced
his retirement from professional football after 20
years of playing for top clubs like Barcelona,
Arsenal & France. He announced this on his
Facebook page and said he will be returning to
London to join Sky Sports as a football expert and
ambassador.
“After 20 years in the game I have decided
to retire from professional football. It has
been an incredible journey and I would like
to thank all the fans, team mates and
individuals involved with AS Monaco,
Juventus, Arsenal FC, FC Barcelona, the New
York Red Bulls and of course the French
national team that have made my time in the
game so special. It is now time for a
different career path and I am pleased to say
that I will be returning to London and joining
Sky Sports. I will hopefully share some of
the insights, observations and experiences I
have learnt over the years with you guys. I
have had some amazing memories (mostly
good!) and a wonderful experience. I hope
you have enjoyed watching as much as I
have enjoyed taking part.”
Henry remains France’s all-time top scorer with
51 goals from 123 appearances. During his time
at Arsenal, he became one of the most feared
strikers in the world, leading the team to two
Premier League titles and three FA Cups. The
multi-award winning Henry joined Barcelona and
over four seasons there, he won two La Liga
titles, a Copa Del Rey, the UEFA Champions
League, UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Club
Cup.
