Former Arsenal striker and French national team star Thierry Henry is reportedly interested in pursuing the vacant U.S. men’s national team head coach position.
The role, which has been open since the expiration of Gregg Berhalter’s contract at the conclusion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, has yet to be filled as U.S. Soccer navigates a post-World Cup year of uncertainty.
The U.S. Soccer Federation (USSF) confirmed that Berhalter remains a candidate to continue as head coach following their investigation into domestic violence allegations, but as the months drag on and no decision is made, speculation has continued to grow regarding other candidates to take over the job.
Henry currently works as a pundit for USA network CBS Sports as a key figure in the network’s coverage of UEFA Champions League and Europa League matches. The 45-year-old has managerial experience with head coaching tenures at AS Monaco and CF Montreal, plus a pair of assistant coach stints under Roberto Martinez at the Belgian national team.
