Former France striker Thierry Henry has been named head coach of the country’s under-21s until 2025, the French Football Federation said in a statement on Monday.
The Arsenal legend will lead the team at next year’s Olympic Games in Paris, replacing Sylvain Ripoll, who was sacked after France’s early exit at this year’s European Under-21s.
Former Angers manager Gerald Baticle will join Henry’s staff as assistant coach.
