In a surprise move, Thierry Henry has resigned as head coach of the France Under-21 national team, citing personal reasons for his departure.
The French Football Federation announced Henry’s resignation on Monday, confirming that he had terminated his contract with the team due to personal circumstances.
Henry, a legendary former Arsenal and Barcelona forward, took the reins of the France U21 side in 2023, leading them to the 2024 Olympics finals, where they secured a silver medal.
Despite his brief tenure, Henry’s exit comes as a shock, leaving the team without a head coach as they prepare for future competitions.
The French Football Federation will now begin the search for a new manager to lead the U21 team, as Henry embarks on a new chapter in his coaching career.
