Making waves in the soccer world, the French Football Association (FFA) officially announced on Monday (21st) that former Ballon d'Or winner Thierry Henry will take charge of France U21, with the two sides signing a contract that extends to 2025. Henry is aiming for the gold medal at the Olympic Games to be held in Paris next year.
Henry, the second top scorer in the history of French soccer, is still young in the field of coaching, although his experience in coaching Monaco and Montreal did not achieve significant results. However, after the World Cup at the end of last year, he resigned as assistant coach of Belgium and has been on a free coaching status since then. Accepting the invitation of France U21 will undoubtedly be an excellent opportunity for Henry to revitalize his coaching career. Especially in next year's Paris Olympics, France U21 team is regarded as one of the favorites to win the championship, Henry's arrival will undoubtedly bring new vitality to this team.
