I SEE NO LEGENDS AT ARSENAL - EMMANUEL PETIT

Emmanuel Petit feels Arsenal FC has missed a vital idea of bringing in club Legends into coaching roles at the club.

Petit who won the premier league with Arsenal  in the 1997/1998 season alongside Patrick Vieira bemoans Arsenal's lack of idea. Petit said players like Thierry Henry, Dennis Bergkamp and Patrick Vierra should be called to coach at the club, He said with reference to Manchester City's  Mikel Arteta.

While, Bergkamp is with Ajax, and Vierra with New York City FC,  Thierry Henry who is currently an assistant coach to Roberto Martinez in Belgium, left the Arsenal youth team when he was told by Wenger not combine TV work with coaching.

"You're often surprised by the career choice of
some players after they have stopped playing,"
Petit told SFR Sport's Le Vestiaire.

"I spoke to [Vieira] a few months before he left for MLS, there were representatives of Manchester City there, and I said that I was very surprised that Manchester City would offer a player who is so closely identified with Arsenal a job at their youth academy, like [Mikel] Arteta with [Pep] Guardiola.

"I think Arsenal have missed a trick there,
because there are other emblematic players
who have left: Bergkamp is at Ajax, Thierry
[Henry] is with Belgium."

Patrick Vieira came to the fore when he was
appointed head coach of NYCFC in November, and his first major coaching role has gone well with the MLS franchise making a first-ever playoff appearance.


"There are a lot of midfielders who have
become good coaches,"

"He was always a leader on the pitch, and
has a personality that means he will impose
himself and not let himself be pushed around.

"There was also his position on the pitch which
helped. At Arsenal, he was an immense
captain."
