  • Henry was on punditry duty alongside Kate Abdo, Micah Richards and Jamie Carragher for Champions League encounters
  • The former Arsenal man’s colleagues pointed out his brief achievements as manager of the France U21 team

Thierry Henry and Micah Richards once again showed the world why they are part of the funniest punditry team in football on Tuesday, October 24.

The Arsenal legend left his colleagues Kate Abdo and Jamie Carragher in hysterics after a brief but hilarious dance routine alongside Richards.

It all started when the topic of the international break came up as Abdo complimented the Arsenal legend for the work he has done so far as manager of the France Under-21 team.

As cited on Transfermakt.com, Henry was appointed the coach of the French U21 team on August 21 and has overseen four matches with impressive results.

Despite compliments from the likes of Abdo and Richards, Henry refused to get carried away as he insisted he “knew how things go” when results possibly stopped going his way.

“We need to carry on, it’s early days. We all know that if it doesn’t go the right way and we start to lose, they’ll show you the door,” he said as seen on CBS Golazo.

Abdo, known for bantering Henry, then referenced a hilarious video of the Arsenal legend dancing to a popular African song.

The rest of the team proceeded to draw comparisons between Henry’s dance moves and those of Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola when the two top managers were dancing during their respective silverware celebrations.

Meanwhile, it appears Henry is a huge fan of busting moves as during the broadcast, Micah Richards urged production to play back a clip of himself and the 1998 World Cup winner doing a funny dance in the studio.

Thierry Henry on Maldini

Sports Brief also reported on Thierry Henry’s wholesome reaction after interacting with legendary defender Paolo Maldini.

Maldini, an AC Milan icon, joined CBS Sports Golazo ahead of the Champions League semi-final in May 2023 and while chatting to Henry, it was clear the Frenchman was a little star-struck.

Henry was in the presence of fellow former footballers turned pundits, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, who were like kids in a candy store in the presence of the Italian legend.
