Henry has also returned to Arsenal to take Under-18s head coach Kwame Ampadu with him to the Stade Louis II. Ampadu joins Benfica U23 coach Joao Carlos Valado Trahlo as part of Henry's backroom team at Monaco. Sitting in 18th place in Ligue 1 after only one win from their opening nine league games, the 2016-17 French champions will be hoping their former player can transform their fortunes.
