Thierry Henry has stepped down from his position as head coach of the France Under-21 national team.
The French Football Federation confirmed Henry’s decision on Monday, citing “personal reasons” for his departure.
Renowned football journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Henry chose to terminate his contract with the team. Henry, a legendary former forward for Arsenal and Barcelona, took over the France U21 side in 2023.
His unexpected exit concludes his brief tenure, during which he led the team to the finals of the 2024 Olympics. Despite their loss to Spain, the team finished with a silver medal.
