Zidane Set to Become France Coach Henry Hints

Thierry Henry Hints Zinedine Zidane Will Be France’s Next Coach

Former France star Thierry Henry has dropped a major hint about who might succeed Didier Deschamps as the head coach of the French national team.

Speaking to reporters, Henry was initially reserved when asked about France’s next manager. But the former Arsenal forward seemed to suggest the decision is already clear.

“We all know who the new manager will be. You know it, I know it, and I wish him all the best,” Henry said, stopping short of naming names.

Zinedine Zidane, who hasn’t taken a coaching role since leaving Real Madrid in 2021, has long expressed his desire to lead Les Bleus. Reports indicate he is actively preparing for the job.

According to L’Équipe, Zidane recently met with former France manager Laurent Blanc to better understand the unique demands of the position. He is also reportedly keeping a close watch on Ligue 1 and European matches as part of his preparation.

If confirmed, Zidane’s appointment would mark a highly anticipated return to French football for one of the country’s most celebrated stars.
