However, Zinedine Zidane is expected to be one of the frontrunners to take over from Deschamps. But French Football Federation president Philippe Diallo has hinted. That the club are not ruling out Henry as a possible replacement. Although everything has to go through the process.
“When I appointed Henry (as coach of the Under-21s and Under-23s for the Olympics), many people questioned his previous performances. I had confidence in him and he is proving it.” Diallo said.
“We have one more game (in the gold medal match against Spain), another step to take and next year is the Under-21 Euros. We have to get each step done before we can talk about that.”
