Free after his time with the French Espoirs and Olympic team, Thierry Henry is waiting for a new opportunity. She could appear again in Belgium since some players are campaigning for her return as coach.
Like the French team after the announced departure of Didier Deschamps in 2026, Belgium can expect a change of coach. Domenico Tedesco is not expected to retain his post until the next rally in March. Nothing is official yet but the sporting director of the Red Devils Vincent Mannaert is reportedly looking for a new coach. And why not Thierry Henry?
They demand Thierry Henry
Former assistant to Roberto Martinez in the Belgian selection (2016-2018 and 2021-2023), the Frenchman, free after his time with the Bleuets, left good memories in Belgium. So much so that certain executives like Romelu Lukaku are campaigning for his return, reveals journalist Sacha Tavolieri. “ Thierry Henry raises a lot of questions and above all a lot of internal exchanges between the executives of the Red Devilsrevealed our colleague on the set of the LN24 channel. Because we know, Vincent Mannaert will decide at the end of the month who will replace Domenico Tedesco. But he hasn’t decided yet. »
« He certainly has choices well fixed in his head. We can talk about Mark van Bommel, we can also talk about the former Manchester United coach Erik ten Hag. But internally, executives Yannick Ferreira Carrasco, Romelu Lukaku and Jan Vertonghen are pushing to bring Vincent Mannaert into thinking about Thierry Henry, and to consider the Thierry Henry trackexplained the journalist. (…) The candidacy of Thierry Henry is currently being pushed by players to become the head coach of Belgium. It is a path pushed by the executives so that it becomes reality. » It remains to be seen whether the former striker validates this flattering initiative while he is one of Didier Deschamps’ potential successors.
