Belgium assistant Thierry Henry to give wage to charity

Thierry Henry plans to give his salary for his role as Belgium's assistant coach to charity, according to Sport/Foot Magazine.

The former Arsenal striker was surprisingly appointed as one of new Belgium coach Roberto Martinez's assistants last week and said he believed the teamcould "make history" in the future.

Over the past few days the ex-France international has been working with the squad for the first time ahead of Martinez's first game in charge against Spain on Thursday.

Sport/Foot Magazine reported on Wednesday that the former Gunners under-18s coach will hand over his annual salary for the role, thought to be around €50,000, to charity organisations in Belgium.
