Thierry Henry, an Arsenal legend and idol for many Gunners fans, has faced challenges in transitioning his success as a player into a managerial career. After managing AS Monaco and CF Montreal with mixed results, Henry took charge of the France U21 team last year, with the French FA hoping his experience and leadership would guide the young talents.
Henry recently managed France’s U23 side at the Paris Olympics, leading them to the final. Although they were close to claiming gold, Spain proved too strong, leaving Henry’s side with silver—a respectable achievement, though he undoubtedly hoped for more.
Despite this, The Sun reports that Henry has stepped down from his role as the U21 coach. His departure adds to a string of managerial exits, leaving him once again searching for a fresh opportunity to establish himself as a successful manager.
Just Arsenal Opinion
It is surprising and sad that Henry is struggling so much as a manager, considering the career he had as a player.
However, he still has more than enough time to find success in management.
ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

Not that surprising really but unfortunate for Henry. The turnover of managers/coaches is very high anyway.
Contrary to the opinion in the article, I think very good/great players rarely make very good/great managers/coaches. There are exceptions – Pep at City of course, Ancelotti at Real Madrid both currently – but they are few and far between. Indeed, the better managers/coaches are often average or even mediocre players – our very own Arsene Wenger being an example of the latter.
Let’s hope Henry finds another post soon.
And some here want this guy to manage AFC one day. No thanks, too much unchecked ego to handle the job. Just saying…
