Thierry Henry, the former striker for the France national team, shared his thoughts on the appointment of his former teammate as the new head coach of Les Bleus:
“Having someone who is almost godlike in our football world—and I say this without intending to offend believers, but for us in football, that’s exactly the level we’re talking about… Having him with the France national team and seeing what he can bring to this generation, which I have also worked with… We’ve already seen how the players look at him with wide eyes, and that’s completely normal because it’s Zizou himself! Of course, results will be needed going forward, and he has already delivered them, so he must continue. So, as I have already said to Deschamps, good luck! It’s also nice to see Fabien Barthez. Watching footage from Clairefontaine was unusual in a good way: Fabien Barthez, Zinedine Zidane… It’s beautiful. At the same time, I thought the same thing when Didier was in charge. Let’s not forget him and what came before. But well… The god has arrived.”
