Officially inducted coach of Bleuets on Tuesday, Thierry Henry spoke about his period as a consultant. With a confession to the key.
This time, it’s official. Presented to the press on Tuesday, Thierry Henry was appointed coach of the France Espoirs team. In front of an audience of journalists, and alongside in particular the president of the French Football Federation, Philippe Diallo, the 1998 world champion gave the main lines of his project in his new role. And he took the opportunity to talk about his life as a consultant.
A period that he obviously did not experience as well as some might have thought. ” I was not happy. I like the field and I was waiting for an opportunity. I did what I had to do to stay as close to the field as possible. “And yet, the new Blueberries coach admitted that he was not done with this role of consultant. ” I will continue, but not on Amazon.”
“I was fine, but…”
But Thierry Henry again insisted on this famous fulfillment. ” I was not really fulfilled. I needed to go back, to coach. This feeling that I have, each time, to help and make people understand. (…) I was fine, but I was not fulfilled. That’s why, when I was asked to coach the France team, it can’t be refused.”
