Thierry Henry has had a difficult enough start to life as a football manager.
Having taken the job as AS Monaco boss earlier in the season, Henry has so far been unable to completely transform their fortunes with the club still languishing near the foot of Ligue 1 (although they have won two of their last three league games). Their European campaign is already over too: one point from their five Champions League games to date means their final group game, at home against Borussia Dortmund, will be their last continental football of the season.
Despite this, Henry is clearly taking his job extremely seriously and – as was clear from the end of his press conference ahead of the game with the Bundesliga leaders – is determined to instill manners into some of his younger players.
Accompanied by young defender, Benoît Badiashile, Henry noticed the 17-year-old failed to tuck his chair under the desk after he had taken questions from reporters. With Henry remaining behind his chair and staring at Badiashile, he swiftly realised his error and returned to slide the chair under the desk.
Wow – Thierry Henry the disciplinarian. If looks could kill as Benoît Badiashile fails tuck his chair in at the end of the press conference. https://t.co/1HMJDno1Kq

The footage has since been widely shared across social media.
Something tells us Badiashile will never leave a chair untucked ever again.
