Launching Antara, Tuesday, August 31, he had been a coach at one of the MLS Canadian League club, Montreal Impact, but resigned in March due to family reasons and the COVID-19 pandemic.
Previously, Henry commented on the arrival of his former colleague at Barcelona, Lionel Messi to Paris Saint-Germain.
The player, who celebrates his 44th birthday on August 17, criticized the purchase made by Les Pariseins.
Balance is the most important thing. People always talk about attacking when there are good attacking players, but I think they (PSG) have conceded too many goals.
Henry joined the Nou Camp in 2007 where he formed a fearsome attack alongside Messi and Samuel Eto'o.
