Henry served as second assistant to manager Roberto Martinez during Belgium\u2019s run to the semi-finals at the 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\n
Henry, Arsenal\u2019s all-time leading scorer, was then promoted to Martinez\u2019s number two before he became the manager of Monaco in October of the same year.<\/p>\n
The Belgium national team tweeted: \u201cUnfinished business. We welcome back Thierry Henry in the staff for #EURO2020!\u201d<\/p>\n
Henry most recently served as the manager of MLS side Montreal Impact before quitting his post in February.<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old, who also played for Barcelona and Monaco, was due to be part of the BBC\u2019s punditry team for this summer\u2019s tournament.<\/p>\n
But the broadcaster announced he will no longer be involved.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is with much sadness that I can no longer be with all my friends and the wonderful team at the BBC during the European Championships this summer,\u201d said Henry in a BBC statement.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWhen I was asked to rejoin the Belgium National team staff, it was an opportunity that was impossible to turn down.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m deeply thankful for the understanding that the BBC have shown in allowing me to take this opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n
Belgium, who are considered among the favorites to win the tournament, have been paired with Russia, Finland and Denmark in Group B.<\/p>\n
