manager

Thierry Henri,41, who began his professional footballing career at Monaco football club before joining Italian side Juventus, moving to English side Arsenal and subsequently Barcelona, has returned to his formative club Monaco as head coach, saying 'it seems like fate' that he should begin his managerial career there.

Clermont Foot 63 have named the former French international as new boss just days after 'furious' Helena Costa quit job at second division side.

Portuguese Helena Costa, 36, is to take the helm at French Ligue 2 club Clermont Foot, which says it is entering a 'new era'.
