Legendary former Arsenal and France striker Thierry Henry is one of the names being considered to succeed Rob Page as Wales manager.
Henry, who has managed Monaco and Montreal Impact, is in charge of France’s Under-21 side and is preparing to lead his country’s Olympic team in the Games in Paris next month.
Some FAW bosses are keen to hire a big name, as they did when they appointed former Wales and Manchester United captain Ryan Giggs in 2018. The FAW would not be able to offer Henry as large a salary as some other national associations but, as he would be able to maintain his lucrative media and sponsorship work if he was Wales manager, the governing body believes its financial constraints would not necessarily stop the deal from happening.It was a similar case when Giggs was in charge, with the Manchester United great dividing his time between various business and commercial interests as well as his managerial duties.
He also won two La Liga titles and a Champions League with Barcelona before embarking on a coaching career that has seen him serve as an assistant to teams such as Belgium as well as managing in his own right., former Wales striker Robert Earnshaw said: "I spent some time with Thierry on the coaching course a couple of years ago because he was on the Welsh FA course.
