Thierry Henry has spoken to Egypt over the prospect of becoming their next head coach, according to an agent involved in the talks.
Nader El-Sayed, the former Zamalek goalkeeper who now works as an agent and in sports marketing, says he spoke with Henry s representative and Egyptian Football Association (EFA) board member Hazem Emam in London.
El-Sayed claims the former Arsenal star is waiting to learn more of the EFAs plans for developing the team before deciding whether to take up the offer.
We had a meeting with Thierry Henry s agent in London, and Hazem Emam was present. Henry is waiting for the EFA s project for the team before deciding on the offer, apart from the economic aspect, he told Egyptian radio, as quoted by King Fut.
Henry has been working as Roberto Martinez s assistant with Belgium since 2016 but has been pursuing the chance to take on a top job at either club or international level.
He stepped down from a lucrative role as a television pundit this month and was linked with the Aston Villa manager s job, although the Championship club decided to back current boss Steve Bruce.
Egypt have been without a coach since Hector Cuper left his post in June, following their group-stage exit from the World Cup.
