Just days after winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games with the French football team, Thierry Henry has decided to leave his position as coach of the Espoirs, “ for reasons that are personal to him “, announced the FFF. An unexpected announcement given that the former Arsenal legend was still under contract until 2025.
It remains to be seen where “Titi” will bounce back, having gained even more credibility after his fine performance at the Paris Games. Once announced on the short-list of the American federation to take the lead of the USA selection for “their” 2026 World Cup, Henry will ultimately not be the chosen one.
Pochettino preferred to Henry
As expected for several weeks, it is the former PSG coach, Mauricio Pochettino, who is preparing to take the helm of the American selection. Information confirmed this Tuesday by Fabrizio Romano. The United States was looking for a new coach after the elimination in the group stage of the Copa America organized on its soil which had led to the ousting of Gregg Berhalter.
“ After a verbal agreement a few weeks ago, all legal issues are being resolved and the contracts are almost ready. “, adds the Italian journalist. Barring a huge twist, Mauricio Pochettino will sign his new contract as coach of the United States this week.
