Thierry Henry, who took over as Espoirs coach on Tuesday, explained a big change in his approach to management.
Despite his impressive playing career, Thierry Henry has lacked references since the start of his new coaching career. The 1998 world champion’s first top-flight experience with Monaco ended in failure.
From this period of learning, there is water flowing under the bridge. Thierry Henry, by his own admission, “added water to (his) wine” while passing through Toronto during the COVID-19 pandemic. In other words, he was a great player once and is now more nurturing and patient with a new generation.
“Now it’s up to me to reach young people and understand the rules”
“As a coach, the closest people I have are the young people,” he explained to the media on Tuesday. I didn’t grow up with social media. My generation has to go to the elders. Now it’s up to me to reach out to young people and understand the rules. I have a lot of education to do. If I’m late, I’m not playing. Now we have to explain it to them. Young people today have more information than we did back then…”. This approach may be the key to his success in leading the Brutt family.
