Thierry Henry begins his new coaching career as an assistant to Belgium boss Roberto Martinez

Belgium reported for training ahead of their friendly with Spain with plenty of familiar faces as well as two new ones – boss Roberto Martinez and his assistant Thierry Henry.

Former Arsenal striker and Sky Sports Pundit Henry looked excited to be part of the set-up at Belgium's training session ahead of Thursday night's friendly against the 2010 World Cup winners in Brussels.

"I've been very impressed by his well-organised manner," said Martinez.

"He's very much anticipating his coaching duties and that is not easy when you start. We're going to get a lot of help from Thierry Henry on the training ground."
