Like that of Antoine Griezmann, this is an international retirement that no one saw coming.

After Antoine Griezmann, another important member of the France team said stop. But, this time, it’s among the women.

Amandine Henry, with her 101 caps, has decided to turn her back on Les Bleues. A strong decision, taken at the age of 35 and which she justified through a letter on her personal Instagram account.

“After so many years of passion, challenges and unforgettable memories, it is time for me to turn the page. It is with immense emotion that I announce to you today my decision to end my career with the French team. she wrote to begin with.

“I had the immense honor of wearing this jersey, the pride of defending our colors with fervor and the happiness of sharing unforgettable moments with my teammates,” added the one that occurs today in Toluca, Mexico.

Amandine Henry’s time in the French women’s team was marked by several participations in major tournaments. But, without dedication to the key. She also stood out by leading the rebellion against the former coach, Corinne Deacon. An initiative which resulted in him being sidelined from the group for more than two years.
