Thierry Henry has stepped down as France under-21 coach after winning an Olympic silver medal in Paris this month. The 47-year-old was contracted until next summer but has opted to leave his position after a year in the job.
“Winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games for my country will remain one of the greatest prides of my life,” said Henry, whose side lost the Paris 2024 final against Spain. “I am incredibly grateful to the federation, the players, the staff and the supporters who allowed me to live a magical experience.”
