Philippe Diallo, President of the French Football Federation, did not close the door to the possibility of appointing Thierry Henry as technical director of the Roosters to succeed the current coach Didier Deschamps. Diallo stated, “When I decided to appoint Henry as coach of the Olympic team, some doubted this step in light of what he achieved in his coaching career, but I trusted him, and he proved that he was worthy of this trust. We have an important step ahead of us, and next year there is another step in the European Under-21 Championship. We must finish each step before thinking about anything else.” Thierry Henry dreams of giving his country the Olympic gold for the second time after winning it in 1984 against Brazil, as the Roosters will meet Spain next Friday in the Paris Olympics final. As for Deschamps, who has been leading the French national team since the summer of 2012, his contract ends with the end of the 2026 World Cup.
