Thierry Henry says he is trying to stay positive despite losing his first game in charge of Monaco on Saturday.
Henry left his position as Belgium assistant to take charge of struggling Monaco and there was huge hype surrounding his appointment, with the former striker starting his playing career at the Stade Louis II.
