Thierry Henry insisted that his former team-mate Laurent Blanc has his work cut out for him after being appointed as the new Lyon boss.
The former France and Paris St-Germain coach Blanc has been appointed Lyon boss, replacing Peter Bosz.
The ex-Manchester United defender, 56, most recently managed Qataris Al-Rayyan but returns to his native country for the first time since leading PSG to a domestic treble in 2016.

Lyon have made a poor start to the season, picking up just one point from their last five games, therefore decided to make the change.
Former Arsenal striker Henry, who played alongside Blanc when France won the 1998 World Cup, has backed his former team-mate although he expects it to be a tough task including the question of what he does with experienced centre-back Jerome Boateng.
'It's up to him to show it to us. He will return to the French championship, he has always been in teams that have played,' Henry told Footmercato.

Henry has questioned what Blanc will do with experienced defender Jerome Boateng at Lyon
'It's up to him to see what he's going to do, there are a lot of questions. He's not going to coach Les Ulis, he'll have a lot of work, but I think the biggest question is what he's going to do with Boateng.
'We'll see, but in any case, he has shown that his teams know how to play football.'
Blanc, a world and European champion as a player with France, won the Ligue 1 title in each of his three seasons as coach of PSG from 2013 to 2016. He also led Bordeaux to the French league title in 2009.
Blanc inherits a team that sits ninth with 14 points from 10 matches. His first game in charge will be against Rennes next Sunday.
