Arsenal legend and CF Montreal boss, Thierry Henry, is one of the leading candidates in line to replace Jason Tindall as Bournemouth manager.
Simon Jordan claims Thierry Henry would be lucky to manage a club with years of Premier League experience like Bournemouth.
The Arsenal legend is the leading candidate to be named Bournemouth manager at the moment. He is in contention with compatriot and former teammate Patrick Viera for the prestigious job.
The French duo have gone into management since their retirement but are yet to prove themselves so far.
Vieira has been out of work since leaving Nice in Ligue 1 while Henry is managing MLS club CF Montreal.
Former Crystal Palace chairman Jordan is not convinced about Henry or Viera and believes either of them would be lucky to land the Bournemouth job.
He told talkSPORT: “[Jose] Mourinho wasn’t an outstanding player, neither was Arsene Wenger, neither was the guy we all look to now, Jurgen Klopp.”
“So just because once upon a time you had halcyon moments of being a player, you’ve got to interview properly and be able to illustrate to the Bournemouth guys that they’re going to take the task in hand.”
“Bournemouth are a former Premier League club that were in the Premier League for five years. These guys (Henry and Viera) would be so lucky to get an opportunity to manage a club in that position.”
“Ask Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink how he feels about managing down the pyramid [at Burton]. Ask other managers that have had to go down, Teddy Sheringham obviously didn’t cut it at Stevenage.”
