Having helped France win trophies as a prolific forward, Thierry Henry wants to lead Les Bleus to a long-awaited Olympic gold medal in his new role as coach.
Henry was hired as coach of the national under-21 team last week on a two-year contact, and he will also lead the France team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The French Olympic team last won gold at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles, and Henry intends to put that right.
Henry hopes he does not encounter the same problems as his predecessor, Sylvain Ripoll, who went to the Tokyo Games without his best players because clubs refused to let them go. Henry said that he and French soccer federation president Philippe Diallo are already talking to French soccer clubs to avoid a similar fiasco.
"After all, I like working with young people, and I’m good at talking to young people,” Henry said."So I hope it’ll be a positive thing.”
