Thierry Henry has resigned from his position as France Under-21s head coach after leading his country to a silver medal at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
Henry signed a two-year deal to manage the side in 2023.
The 47-year-old guided the under-23 side to the final at the games where they lost the final 5-3 to Spain in extra time.
Henry has been due to run until after next year’s European Under-21 Championship in Slovakia, but has decided to quit his position.
“Winning the silver medal at the Olympic Games for my country will remain one of the greatest prides of my life,” said Henry in a statement (via BBC Sport).
“I am incredibly grateful to the federation, the players, the staff and the supporters who allowed me to live a magical experience.”
The France Football Federation said it “obviously regrets” Henry’s decision, adding that he had “achieved the objectives set for him”.
Henry won four of his six matches in charge of the under-21s, winning eight of his 11 games in charge of the Olympic team – which included strikers Alexandre Lacazette and Jean-Philippe Mateta as overage players.
