Now it’s Thierry Henry’s turn, we wrote earlier this week. The French icon had worked as an assistant, had a guest appearance as Monaco coach, a few seasons in MLS, then this summer he led the French Olympic team to silver on home soil. We are still waiting for the right job on one of the top shelves, this job became available on Friday.
Henry has previously been an assistant coach for the Belgian national team for several rounds. The Frenchman was in the picture when successful coach Roberto Martinez had done his part in 2022. Henry was weighed too lightly this time around, even though several of the biggest stars openly said they wanted the Frenchman as head coach.
Belgium later brought in Domenico Tedesco to lead the Belgians to the 2026 World Cup. It lasted for a poor year, on Friday the Belgian Football Association Tedesco has been fired.
The loss against France in October was sour, the loss against Italy in November was bitter, the loss against Israel in the same month was unforgivable for the nation that has played its way to ranking as one of the very best in the world.
According to Belgian HLN , it is between Thierry and Rudi Garcia, who has been without a job since exiting Napoli in 2023.
We’re rooting for the Arsenal legend. Time for Henry to be given confidence in the big job on the way to the 2026 World Cup. He showed during the Olympics on home soil that he can handle the pressure of a major championship.
