“He Wants That World Cup Money” – MLS Legend and FIFA WC Champion Thierry Henry Snubs France as He’s Keen on USMNT Coaching Job, Fans React

The USMNT is among the sides that are desperate to win the World Cup. Unlike the women’s team, which has achieved huge success in the prestigious tournament, the men’s national team has a lot left to prove.

Over the past few years, the men’s national team has been desperate to achieve success. They recently participated in the 2022 World Cup, where they failed to prove themselves. The men were eliminated in the early stages, and their performance wasn’t very convincing.

Moreover, that wasn’t the end of misery for the country, as just after the World Cup, their coach, Gregg Berhalter, took over the headlines after a shocking incident came to light. The 49-year-old is under keen scrutiny.

Berhalter is still under the watchful eye of US authorities, who are currently keeping him away from his managerial position. Moreover, his contract has also expired with the USMNT. He’ll be looking to renew, but the national team has something else in mind.

Fans react to Henry eying the USMNT role

Since then, many coaches have been linked with the USMNT to take over the managerial role. However, an interesting story came up stating that former MLS star Thierry Henry has received an offer to become France’s women’s national team coach. However, the Frenchman has rejected the offer as he is eyeing the USMNT role.

This has caught the eyes of netizens who didn’t miss the opportunity to speak their minds.

While the majority of them were not convinced of Henry, a few of them came in support of the Frenchman.

The hunt for the role continues

As the Berhalter saga is still running, the USMNT’s hunt for a new manager continues. Since the controversy began, many coaches’ names have been put on the table. The likes of Zidane, Mourinho, and Bielsa have all been rumored to take the job, but nothing has materialized yet.

Currently, the squad is being led by Anthony Hudson as an interim coach. Under Hudson, the country has played several friendlies against Serbia and Columbia, which went all in vain. They are now preparing for the CONCACAF Nations League fixture that will take place this month.
