PARIS — Thierry Henry likely knew what was coming. At the end of an epic Olympic men's soccer final Friday, the France coach was asked what was next after leading his country to the silver medal at the Paris Games. "My future? My future is to go to eat with the guys later on and their families. That's my future," he said after the 5-3 defeat to Spain. It didn't come close to answering the question after France's exhilarating run to the final showcased Henry's coaching qualities and possibly put him in the mix for some big jobs in club or international soccer. The United States, for instance, is on the lookout for a new coach after Gregg Berhalter paid the price for a desperately disappointing exit from the Copa America.
