The 41-year-old Henry started his professional career at the Riviera club and played in the French league with Monaco from 1994-99. Henry has no experience as a manager but had been working as an assistant to Belgium coach Roberto Martinez since 2016. Henry ended his 20-year playing career four years ago after claiming multiple trophies, including the Champions League and the World Cup. In 2009 came the infamous handball in the decisive goal against Ireland in a World Cup playoff. At that World Cup in South Africa, France didn’t win a game, and caused a scandal when it refused to train before its final match.
