Thierry Henry Resigns as France U21, Olympic Coach

Thierry Henry has resigned as the head coach of France's Under-21 and Olympic soccer teams, citing personal reasons. Appointed in August 2023, Henry led the French team to a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics, where they lost 5-3 to Spain in the final. Despite his contract running until June 2025, Henry decided to step down, expressing gratitude to the French Football Federation, players, staff, and supporters for the 'magical experience.' The French Football Federation thanked him for his professionalism and contributions, emphasizing the pride in achieving their first Olympic soccer medal in 40 years. Henry's previous coaching roles included stints with Belgium's national team, Monaco, and Montreal Impact. The FFF is actively searching for a new coach ahead of the U21 Euro 2025 qualifiers.
