Thierry Henry would be on pole to succeed Sylvain Ripoll at the head of the France Espoirs team.
Thirteen years after his last selection with the France team, Thierry Henry could make his comeback at Clairefontaine in the weeks to come. According to information from RMC Sport, the second top scorer in the history of Les Bleues would be the favorite to take control of the Espoirs, still without a coach since the ousting of Sylvain Ripoll. He would be one step ahead of Jocelyn Gourvennec.
It is the trio made up of Marc Keller (member of the executive committee), Hubert Fournier (national technical director) and the president of the FFF, Philippe Diallo, who must choose the future coach. And the announcement of the decision would be imminent.
“The decision should be made in the coming days”
“I am following this file and I was already following it very closely in Australia, confided Philippe Diallo, interviewed by the newspaper The Team. The decision should be made in the next few days. It’s an important position, especially with the Olympics next year. These arouse a lot of envy among many potential talented breeders. We have a lot of people interested. »
As a reminder, Thierry Henry has not led a team as head coach since 2020 and his departure from the Montreal Impact.
