Cited as the possible deputy of Julian Nagelsmann, Thierry Henry does not intend to be led with the stick in this file. So the 1998 world champion came out of his silence following misunderstood remarks.
PSG still haven’t fired Christophe Galtier, so they haven’t named their new coach yet. But for the past few days, the name of the former Bayern Munich coach has been coming up constantly, Julian Nagelsmann having visibly convinced Nasser Al-Khelaifi and Luis Campos of his talent. To accompany him on the Parisian bench, the German technician thought of Thierry Henry, and contacts have even already been made between the two men. But at the end of the week, responding to an interview with L’Equipe on his role as a consultant on CBS, the former Blues striker had dropped: ” We will see the evolution of things… Nothing is ever certain. “What everyone had interpreted as a position on possible negotiations in progress with the Parisian leaders. But it was a mistake.
Thierry Henry denies PSG interest
Saturday evening, at the microphone of the famous CBS broadcast, and on the sidelines of the Champions League final, Thierry Henry did not escape a question from Kate Abdo. And under the gaze of his two consultant friends, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards, the one who also works for Prime Video wanted to put things clearly back to the point. ” I’ve seen people speak for me when I haven’t spoken to anyone. I’ll say it again, I haven’t spoken to anyone. There is a journalist from L’Equipe who recently wrote an article on this show. A very good article by the way, and which asked me if I was going to continue. I answered him “We will see, we will see the contract”. And he used my words to echo the rumors about PSG. A journalist’s job is not to use words to lie to people. Yet he asked me about the club and I told him that was not true. So I’m here for now “, made it clear Thierry Henry, visibly annoyed to be the object of all this attention.

For the moment, the file of the future coach of Paris Saint-Germain remains completely confidential. Because if the Nagelsmann track seems to be realistic, a certain vagueness surrounds this operation. In particular because the name of Zinedine Zidane is visibly impossible to remove from the head of the Emir of Qatar. The latter focuses on Zizou while the latter would have recently let PSG know that he was not interested in this high-risk function. Julian Nagelsmann is therefore not yet at PSG, and Thierry Henry even less.
