Thierry Henry soon back on a bench?
It is the will of the interested party.
On
CBS
- where he works as a consultant - the former striker of the France team did not completely close the door when asked if he was ready to succeed Gregg Berhalter at the head of the United States selection.
“
Would I put my name in the hat?
First and foremost, this is a tricky subject to discuss.
Roberto Martinez (ex-Belgium coach, editor's note) went to coach Portugal and I'm not going to follow him.
Being a number two is no longer something I would like to do
, said the 1998 world champion in comments transcribed by
RMC Sports.
Massive respect for the boss, he gave me an opportunity when no one else did.
I would like to have an opening (to train as number one, editor's note) again.

Thierry Henry has several advantages for the position.
English-speaking, he is familiar with football on the other side of the Atlantic having played for the New York Red Bulls between July 2010 and January 2015 before coaching CF Montreal between November 2019 and February 2021. However, before to apply, the former Arsenal striker would like to know more about the project of the selection which will partly host the next World Cup: “
Do I know the players (of the American selection)?
Yes, I know the players.
Do I know the league (MLS)?
Yes, I know the league.
What is the plan ?
What is philosophy?
What do you want to be?
When you ask yourself these questions, you will eventually find these answers
, he explained.
.
And it is not because you are going to host the competition (World Cup 2026) that you are going to go far automatically.
We have seen that this is not easy to do.
We have seen great teams (struggle) at home.
” 45-year-old Thierry Henry, who again became Roberto Martinez's assistant with the Red Devils between May 2021 and December 2022, has not been head coach since the end of his experience at CF Montreal.
