Thierry Henry has completed his Uefa A license. Twitter.

Last week the Arsenal legend Thierry Henry was awarded with his Uefa A license via the Welsh FA, however, it is thought that there was favouritism towards star names considering how quickly he passed.

Only Thierry Henry was happy about his recent completion of the Uefa A licence, after several other coaches have accused the FA of Wales (FAW) of bias in the light of the Frenchman's success.

Henry managed to complete the A licence in less time than former Swansea and Cardiff City player Will Foley.

Foley made a statement suggesting that the FAW fast tracks "big names" quicker than other candidates. Foley told the Daily Mail, "There was no way humanly possible Thierry had even completed his Uefa B licence and could have finished all his assessments and tasks on the A licence when everyone else participating on the course has not even had the chance,"

"Where does it end with the Welsh FA? Are they not worried that someone somewhere will start asking to see proof that all these top names are completing what is required by Uefa to fully pass the courses?"
