The news was confirmed yesterday when the French Football Federation published its statement inducting the 1998 world champion as its new coach. “Thierry Henry will lead Les Bleuets for the next UEFA Euro U21 2025 qualifying campaign and for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games (July 25 – August 10), a major objective for the Federation.”

The first list is expected on August 31 for the first two matches once morest Denmark in a friendly (September 7) and Slovenia (September 11), as part of the qualifications for Euro Espoirs 2025. It will be scrutinized with great attention. . This will be an opportunity for the former striker to set the record straight, he who disappointed with the Montreal Impact and especially at AS Monaco, but his ability to put young players forward is even to emphasize.

This propensity pleased the FFF, which preferred him to Sabri Lamouchi for example. The top scorer of the Blues (123 selections, 51 achievements), until the world in Qatar (now overtaken by Olivier Giroud with his 54 goals), will receive the same emoluments as his predecessor, Sylvain Ripoll, i.e. 40,000 euros monthly, in addition performance bonuses, particularly linked to the Olympics next year in Paris, but also for the Euro Espoirs in two years.

Henry was almost unanimous within the comex of the FFF. There was indeed a slight “discordant voice” explaining that we favored the image rather than the field but this was quickly extinguished following debate. The former Gunner was approved by all voters. He will land with Gérald Baticle, imposed by the federation, a physical trainer, a goalkeeper trainer, two video analysts, and Lionel Rouxel, former U19 coach who will intervene from time to time. The only name suggested by Henry and validated by the body, that of Gaël Clichy who should therefore join the staff of Bleuets.
