Arsenal legend set to return to managerial duties with former club

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is set stage a comeback n to managerial duties with MLS campaigners New York Red Bulls.

According to the Mirror, the 41-year-old Frenchman is closing in on a return to coaching in America with former club, 90 days after his stint at Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Red Bull head of global soccer Oliver Mintzlaff is set to hand Henry another platform, to re-write the wrongs after his sack from Monaco, winning just five times as the Stade Louis II dwellers were in the drop zone before his exit in January.

And Russian star Aleksandr Golovin recently slammed the Frenchman’s style after his sack.

“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."

Interestingly, Henry is in the good books of Red Bulls supporters during his days as a player, with reports suggesting he is under consideration to be named the club manager this week.

During hi spell at the club Henry netted 52 times in 135 games for the New York Red Bulls in four years and helped the club claim the 2013 Supporters' Shield for best regular season record.

At the moment, New York Red Bulls have just five points from their opening seven matches this campaign, leaving them on 10th spot in the Eastern Conference and may not likely make the playoffs as it stands.

Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Monaco sacked Thierry Henry as manager after recording strings of poor results since arriving three months ago.

The Arsenal legend has been told his services are no longer needed with former manager Leonardo Jardim lined up for a shock return.

Jardim was deemed surplus to requirement in October, making way for the ex-Gunners striker, and now the club are willing to take him back to avoid being relegated to the second division.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
