THIERRY HENRY will attempt to bring in Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi as his No2 if he lands the Bordeaux job, according to reports.
French press are reporting that the Gunners legend is all set to replace Gus Poyet at the French club.
Poyet is currently suspended after a very public disagreement over the club's transfer policy.
And according to RMC, Henry, who was the club's first choice, has said yes to the job in his homeland.
He will make moves to add his former Arsenal team-mate Grrimandi to his backroom staff.
Arsenal legend and World Cup winner Henry is the current assistant for the Belgium national team but wants to pursue his own managerial career as a No1 and left Sky Sports this summer.
He was linked with replacing Steve Bruce at Aston Villa earlier in the summer but the Midlands club stuck with the 57-year-old, who led them to the Championship play-off final last season.
Henry was top of a list that included Jurgen Klinsmann, Remi Garde, Laurent Blanc and Michael Laudrup.
Poyet's position at the club is still unclear after his dramatic rant about the sale of Gaetan Laborde.
The club are set to hold talks with him on Friday to see if bridges can be rebuilt but it looks ominous for the former Brighton and Sunderland boss.

4He said: "What happened with Gaëtan Laborde is a disgrace. I asked the club not to sell him until we bring in another player.
"They didn’t listen to me, they let Laborde leave. We arrived at the hotel today at 11.45am, Laborde was not there.
"We called him, he was at Montpellier. Nobody said anything to us. I will discuss with my agent tomorrow and then make a decision."
When questioned during the press conference about his job security, Poyet launched into another rant before claiming the club are "trying to kill me from behind to make me leave".
He said: "Who said that to you? A Bordeaux representative? I don’t give a f*** about these Bordeaux representatives. They tell you lies and you don’t have the cojones to say the truth."
