Thierry Henry leaves role as CF Montreal manager. 43 year old former Arsenal player has stepped down as manager of Major League Soccer side CF Montreal
“Due to the worldwide pandemic I was unable to see my children,” he said
“Unfortunately due to the ongoing restrictions and the fact that we will have to relocate to the US again for several months (at least) [the situation] will be no different. The separation is too big a strain for me and my kids.”
Montreal director Olivier Renard said: “Thierry’s departure is unfortunate and premature because it was very promising, but he told me of his desire to find his family.
“I would like to thank him, first of all in human terms, because he showed the example last year by being away from his family, but also in sporting terms for what we have built together upon his arrival”.
