During his first press conference as coach of the France Espoirs team, Thierry Henry returned to the rumor that sent him to the PSG bench as assistant to Julian Nagelsmann.
Julian Nagelsmann never became PSG’s new coach despite negotiations in early June. And Thierry Henry has not become the assistant to the German strategist on the bench of the Rouge et Bleu. But would the 98 world champion have accepted this position? If he was perhaps in the sights of Qatar, the new coach of the France Espoirs team has not been contacted. And given his desire to find a coaching position, he would probably have refused.
During his first press conference at the head of the Bleues on Tuesday, Henry denied having been close to PSG: “ Confirm ? Pardon ? No, I can’t confirm that, sorry. I did it once, I’m doing it again a second time “Launched the 2nd top scorer in the history of the France team, who had clearly stated that he had not been approached by PSG on the CBS set.
Thierry Henry, if he will no longer be the star consultant for Prime Video in France for Ligue 1 matches, will continue his consulting activity for CBS Sports, an American channel which broadcasts Champions League matches from London. In addition to leading this U21 team which will be the French team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games football tournament, with the potential reinforcement of Kylian Mbappé.
