Thierry Henry has resigned from his position as the coach of the French Under-21 national soccer team, according to a statement from the Federation Francaise de Football (FFF) on Monday. This announcement came shortly after his team's defeat to Spain in the Olympic final. The FFF disclosed that Henry's decision to terminate his contract, which was set to expire in June 2025, was due to personal reasons. As a player, Henry was part of the French team that won the 1998 World Cup and is the country's second highest all-time scorer. His coaching efforts at the Olympics were widely praised.
