Thierry Henry would love to become France manager someday, Jeremie Aliadiere has said. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
Stressing that the Arsenal legend would welcome the opportunity to coach the French national team, Jeremie stated that Henry has always been very patriotic when it comes to his country.
Aliadiere added that even though Deschamps didn’t win the 2026 World Cup, replacing him would still be a huge challenge for Zidane.
His words, “Why not? I’m sure Thierry will be delighted to get the job.
We’ve seen how patriotic he is and how much he loves France. We saw him during the Olympic Games in 2024 as well. He’s had a great tournament there. I’m sure that’ll be in the back of his mind and he will love to get the opportunity at some point.
But I think Zidane in France is something different and now we’ve touched the gods. Zidane will always be Zidane. So I wish and I really hope that he succeeds and everything goes well.
Because as much as Deschamps didn’t win this World Cup, he’s still all the time going to semis, to finals, won in 2018. So you just think it’s still going to be a challenge for Zidane to get over the line.
Because the next step now really for Zidane, he has to win something. He can’t just come and then do a semi-final or a quarter-finals. And we know how hard it is to win it. Only one team can. And we know with England as well. They’ve been in tournaments lately where they are so close but not quite there. So you just start losing patience. Hopefully Zidane can do it.
Yeah, 100%. I think so.
I think as much as people might say that Didier Deschamps has only one World Cup, that is obviously more than a lot of anyone else. But you just think what he’s done in terms of leading the team with such a great squad and great talent.
Zidane’s going to come in and he hasn’t got a lot to do really. Everything’s already set for him to succeed. So yeah, I think you’re right. I think the force, the age, the players that we’re missing as well that will be back in the team.
You think a player like [Rayan] Cherki who couldn’t get much minutes in there, he’ll be in for two years, four years. You think about [Hugo] Ekitike who was injured before it. It’s like the names that you’ve got and the talent you’ve got, I think Zidane now has just got to put his little magic on it and then make it work.”
