Former France national team star Thierry Henry, who has ties to MLS as a coach and player, has expressed interest in the United States Men’s National Team coaching vacancy, ESPN reported yesterday. Henry, 45, scored 51 goals in 123 games for France from 1997-2010 and played in the World Cup four times. A star for clubs like Monaco, Juventus, Arsenal and Barcelona in Europe, Henry played 122 games for the New York Red Bulls from 2010-14.
In 2019, Henry was named head coach of the Montreal Impact, now CF Montreal. He led the club to the playoffs in 2020, but departed in advance of the 2021 season citing limited interaction with his family in England, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions.
