PARIS — Having helped France win trophies as a prolific forward Thierry Henry wants to lead Les Bleus to a long-awaited Olympic gold medal in his new role as coach. Henry was appointed as coach of the national under-21 team last week and will also lead the France team at the 2024 Paris Olympics. The French Olympic team last won gold at the 1984 Games in Los Angeles. Henry intends to put that right in Paris, saying "being on the podium is going to be something that's outstanding, especially being at home in France." He must also qualify the under-21 side for the 2025 European Championship.
