AS Monaco midfielder Aleksandr Golovin has had a pop at Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

Golovin has lifted the lid on what Henry was like as a manager and says he would sometimes sulk and refuse to talk to the squad.

After being given the job in October, Henry was out of a job in January after winning just four games.

Golovin said: "Maybe Henry didn't kill the role of the player inside of him.

“When things weren't working out during practice he would get nervous and yell a lot. Maybe it was unnecessary.

“He was a very strong player and the only players near his level at Monaco are maybe [Radamel] Falcao and [Cesc] Fabregas.

“He would try to go out onto the field and show us how to practice and yell.

“Maybe a different manager would say 'let's go, get it together', but he would get nervous right away and run onto the field and start playing and showing us things.

“He would scream 'try to get the ball away from me'. Players were mostly calm, but maybe they were in a bit of a shock.

“You could tell he didn't fully transition into the role of manager.

“There were times when he would feel hurt and not talk to us and review tactics for hours."
