Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has revisited his historic time at the club to mark 20 years since the day he was signed by then-manager Arsene Wenger from Juventus. The 1998 World Cup winner [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thierry_Henry] struggled to settle in Turin as he scored only 3 goals in 20 appearances for the Italian giants. Arsene Wenger, who had previously worked with Henry at Monaco, brought the 21-year-old to Highbury owing to his huge potential. ?Although I arrived a world champion, I was nobody,? he admitted in a recent interview with Arsenal. ?And rightly so. I hadn?t won anything at Arsenal, so who was I? I was just a follower at the beginning.? [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Thierry-Henry-2.jpg]Thierry Henry during his playing days at Arsenal.? Thierry Henry had big boots to fill when he arrived in North London because Nicolas Anelka had left for Real Madrid only the day before. Adding to the pressure, the Frenchman had a rocky start to his Arsenal career as he was not able to score in his first eight appearances. ?You don?t arrive somewhere just with your name and impress the guys in the dressing room. You have to show them that you can fight for them and sometimes against them in training. And then, they will respect you,? he claimed. Thierry Henry went onto score 17 goals in each of his first two Premier League seasons before having a stellar third season. Not only did he pick the Golden Boot award for his unmatched 24 league goals but also lead Arsenal to a memorable double-winning campaign. [http://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/1224510-25684836-2560-1440.jpg]The Frenchman went onto achieve several feats at the club, including the ‘Invincibles’ Premier League trophy. The 2002/03 season was when Thierry Henry won the PFA Player of the Year award for the first time as he lifted the FA Cup once again. But it was perhaps the following year which the striker will cherish most as an Arsenal player. Henry spearheaded the Gunners to a historic Premier League title in the 2003/04 season as they went unbeaten for the entirety of the 38-game competition. ?The Invincibles?, as they are fondly called, are till date the only team to manage the momentous feat. Thierry Henry left Arsenal for Barcelona in the summer of 2007 as the club?s leading goalscorer of all time and one of the best strikers the Premier League has ever seen.

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Theirry Henry is a legend of soccer. Throughout the years, he dominated the game and won multiple honors with Arsenal and Barcelona. After spending time in Europe, Thierry moved to New York Red Bulls and became an MLS icon. Fans remember the French soccer star for his performances during the Arsenal Invincibles season, where he scored goals and made numerous assists. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry's Net worth and salary</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry's net worth is estimated to be around $130 million. In the course of his career, he rose to prominence as the dominant player for Arsenal in the English Premier League. His overall marketing brand image earned him various endorsements, starring in Nike's old-school classic cage football match ads. Later, he switched his allegiances to Reebok and appeared in different TV ads with the company. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">At last, he switched to Puma and became one of the unique athletes to sign contracts with top sportswear brands. During his time with New York Red Bulls, Henry earned a salary of $5 million per year. At that time, he was the highest-paid player in the MLS.  </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry’s career at Arsenal and Barcelona</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The legendary soccer player first made his debut in 1994. Identical to Kylian Mbappe, Henry became the Young Player of the Year in 1996 as a career with so much promise excited the soccer fraternity. He even made the 1998 France World Cup winning squad and played with the likes of Zinedine Zidane and Marcel Desailly, who were stalwarts of the team. Later, clubs circled him for his signature as the French player left for Juventus. But, that move failed to pan out as Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger picked up for 11 million pounds. Notably, the French manager worked with Henry in his early managerial career days with Monaco. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">The player looked to start a new chapter in his life with Arsenal. Primarily a left winger, Wenger saw potential in him and developed him into a striker. That became one of the revolutionary moves in soccer. Since then, he evolved into one of the most formidable strikers in the world. Even though it took some time for him to find his scoring boots, Henry scored his first goal against Southampton and never looked back.</span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">In his second season, he turned those goals into trophies. Henry scored 24 goals and won the double with Arsenal- English Premier League and the FA Cup. The 2002/2003 season became even more prolific, with Henry scoring 32 goals in all competitions. He won the FA Cup that season but went a step further during the 2003/2004 season. As historic as Henry's performances were, Arsenal went through the entire league without losing and etched their names into the folklore. In fact, Henry was at the helm of it by scoring 30 goals in the Premier League.  </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">With his goal-scoring prowess on display, he won four golden boots and picked up the Football Writers' Player Of The Year three times. In 2006, he guided Arsenal to a Champions League final but ended up losing the match. By the time he left Arsenal for Barcelona, he became the club's top scorer by scoring 228 goals, a record that stays intact. But the failure to win the UEFA Champions League meant it was time to move on, and Barcelona came calling. He moved to the club in 2007 and achieved his dream of winning the one trophy he missed out on. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Under Pep Guardiola and alongside Lionel Messi, Barcelona won an unprecedented six trophies with the club. He won the Copa del Rey, Spanish La Liga, Spanish Supercup, UEFA Champions League, UEFA Supercup, and FIFA Club World Cup. After conquering Europe, it was time for him to move to New York Red Bulls in 2010. Yet, the home is where the heart is as he moved to Arsenal for two months and made an everlasting impact with the club. After a long and illustrious career, Henry retired from soccer on December 16, 2014. </span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry Wife</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry is in a relationship with Andrea Rajacic, and the couple have dated each other for the past 15 years. The 37-year-old Rajacic is from Bosnia and is one of the most successful models in Europe. He earns a net worth of $5 million. The couple met in 2008 after Henry divorced his wife, Claire Merry. They were married for four years but later decided to separate. On the other hand, Andrea and Thierry are the parents of three kids. Andrea gave birth to their first child in 2012, named Tatiana Henry. Their other two kids are Gabriel and Tea, from the soccer star's prior relationship. </span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><span data-preserver-spaces="true">Thierry Henry Coaching Career</span></h2>
<span data-preserver-spaces="true">Like most soccer players, Henry turned into a coach in 2015. He worked with the Arsenal youth team and developed many youngsters. Soon after, Thierry earned his UEFA A License, but Arsene Wenger wanted a full-time coach for Arsenal. Therefore, he left the club and became the assistant coach of the Belgium national team, along with Roberto Martinez at the helm. Together, they finished third in the 2018 World Cup. Wanting to manage his own team, he set sights on greener pastures. </span>

<span data-preserver-spaces="true">He focused his attention on his homeland and joined Monaco as the head coach. The fans welcomed it with mixed reactions, as the former Arsenal man did not have solid experience under his belt. Those doubts turned into reality as his Monaco side struggled. The club sacked Henry as the team lied as low as 19th when he lost his job. He ended with just four wins in his 20 games in charge. Henry later returned to the MLS and became the coach of the Montreal Impact. He led the team to their first playoff berth in four seasons during the 2021 season. But later, Thierry wanted to move closer to his children, moving to Europe and joined as an assistant coach with Belgium. Moreover, he will lead the France national Under-21 team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. </span>
