News about Thierry Henry

In opposition, Health Secretary Wes Streeting said the NHS was 'broken' and must be fixed without delay. Since coming into government, his sense of urgency seems to have diminished.He now says he wants to have a 'national conversation' before embarking on a programme of reform - which even then will take ten years to complete. With waiting lists still stratospherically high, face-to-face GP appointments as rare as unicorns in many areas and hospital A&E departments almost cracking under the strain of high demand, patients and medical staff want action today, not years from now. Do we really need another conversation? The problems are plain to see. NHS productivity and efficiency must be improved, everyone should be able to access primary care, waiting times must be brought down.

Kylian Mbappe was reportedly seen in a nightclub in Sweden on Thursday, the same evening that his France team-mates beat Israel 4-1. Mbappe has faced criticism in his home country for skipping their Nations League games against Israel and Belgium while being available to play for Real Madrid. The forward picked up a muscle injury last month but made his return to the pitch off the bench in his club's Champions League defeat at Lille last Wednesday.

Thierry Henry has claimed that Unai Emery would have been a success at Arsenal if he was given more time at the club. Emery had 78 games in charge of Arsenal before being sacked in November 2019 and is now in charge of Aston Villa. Arsenal have enjoyed an upward trajectory under Mikel Arteta, but Gunners legend Henry believes that Emery could also have made a major impact.

Saka (left) has become one of Arsenal's most important players and was on the score sheet for the Gunners as they beat Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday evening. He has been at the club since he was seven years old, and worked his way through the academy age groups before becoming a senior member of the squad. According to Arsenal legend Henry (centre), however, nothing about Saka caught the eye when he was trying to make it to the big time.

Micah Richards couldn't help but interject with a crude comment which left his fellow panellists in stitches and CBS Sports' studio stunned silent live on air.  The former Manchester City defender is a regular pundit for the broadcaster alongside Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher, while presenter Kate Abdo attempts to bring order to the boisterous trio.  However, on Tuesday night, she was undone by Richards' witty - if a little risque - remark when discussing the prospects of French side Brest in this year's Champions League. 

Griezmann has called time on his decade-long international career with France. The 33-year-old Atletico Madrid forward announced his decision via Instagram on Monday. He said in a video: 'It is with a heart full of memories that I close this chapter of my life. Thank you for this magnificent tricolour adventure and see you soon. After 10 incredible years marked by challenges, successes and unforgettable moments, it is time for me to turn a page and make way for the new generation. Wearing this jersey was an honour and a privilege.'

David Raya has revealed his favourite pundit in a hilarious interview with CBS Sports, leaving the team of Micah Richards , Thierry Henry , Jamie Carragher and Kate Abdo in stitches. The Spanish goalkeeper was the one shining light for Arsenal in a drab goalless draw with Atalanta in the Champions League on Thursday night. With Thomas Partey having concededed a penalty for a foul on Ederson , Mateo Retegui put the ball on the spot in a bid to give the Italian side a shock lead. But a quick dive to his right followed by a reflex save to his left saw Atalanta brutally denied an opener and Raya mobbed by his teammates.

CBS pundits Micah Richards, Thierry Henry and Jamie Carragher have all revealed their all-time greatest goals.  The UEFA Champions League coverage provided by Kate Abdo, Henry, Carragher and Richards has led to countless viral moments in recent years. The programme once again returned to screens on Tuesday night for Liverpool's 3-1 win over AC Milan at the San Siro. 

Arsenal and France legend Thierry Henry (inset) has been slammed by some football supporters for refusing to question former Chelsea star Christian Pulisic (left) after AC Milan's latest defeat. Pulisic faced the cameras after AC Milan's 3-1 humbling by Liverpool in their opening Champions League clash and was being interviewed by Kate Abdo on CBS when the bizarre exchange occurred.

Thierry Henry and former US star Mike Grella refused to pull any punches as they got into a heated debate live on-air on Tuesday night. The pair were covering AC Milan's home clash with Liverpool for CBS Sports, with Henry in the studio while Grella reported from pitchside at the San Siro. The conversation turned to the current standard of Major League Soccer (MLS) following the recent appointment of new national team manager Mauricio Pochettino, and Henry went straight for the jugular.

Jamie Carragher could not resist making another awkward joke at Kate Abdo's expense as the Champions League returned to CBS Sports on Tuesday night. As the US network got their coverage underway for Liverpool's clash with AC Milan, host Abdo made a major personal announcement. Abdo, 43, had gone through the usual process of introducing herself and the punditry team of Carragher, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards, but then revealed she had just signed an 'exclusive contract'.

CBS Sports already had what many fans considered to be the dream team of football pundits. The UEFA Champions League coverage provided by Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards has led to countless viral moments in recent years. But that star-studded lineup got even better on the opening night of the 2024-25 league phase as David Beckham joined the team. Ex-England captain Beckham - who won the Champions League with Manchester United in 1999 - made quite an entrance too.

American rap icon Jay-Z has reportedly been contacted by John Textor regarding his proposed takeover of Premier League strugglers Everton. Textor is in talks to buy Farhad Moshiri's 94.1 per cent majority stake in the Goodison Park club. Fifty-eight-year-old Textor went on record last week to say that he was close to selling his shares in current club Crystal Palace, which he would need to do before buying the Toffees.

Boxing trainer Scott tied the knot with the CBS Sports presenter earlier this month and shared several glamorous snaps from the ceremony in the Malibu hills. Their relationship was first revealed live on air by pundits Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards in December 2023 and since then, Abdo and Scott, both 43, have shared the occasional glimpse into their private lives for their social media followers. Scott's children were present for the close-knit celebration.

Thierry Henry believes the expanded Champions League format is overburdening players, as the ex-Arsenal star slammed the new model on Wednesday for having 'too many games' on Wednesday. Under the newly-introduced 'Swiss' system, each team will play a minimum of eight league phase games - up from six in the previous group stage - while 16 teams will also participate in a two-legged playoff to reach the round of 16 (and join eight automatic qualifiers). And while Henry, now a pundit with CBS in the United States, believes the expanded slate of games is a positive in terms of his TV career, his perspective as an ex-player and coach is very different.   

Kate Abdo tied the knot with her partner Malik Scott in what seemed like a small and intimate wedding on Sunday afternoon. The pair took to Instagram to share several photos from their wedding day, thanking God for the 'gift of marriage' in their captions.

Former Arsenal man Carl Jenkinson has revealed that Mikel Arteta has an 'aura' just like Gunners legend Thierry Henry and that 'when he walks in the room and talks, you listen'. The Spaniard has transformed the north London side from under-achievers to regular title contenders over the course of his reign. Last season they ran Pep Guardiola 's Man City all the way to a tense title finale, narrowly missing out on a first Premier League trophy in 20 years by just two points. The Emirates side went into this campaign as favourites alongside their Manchester rivals and have made a solid start with two wins and a draw from the opening three matches.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW BY AADAM PATEL: Clarence Seedorf insists that football has a problem when it comes to equal opportunities for black managers and has called for more action to be taken. 'Unfortunately, there is a gap of opportunity for black coaches. It's still an issue,' Seedorf told Mail Sport. 'I've not been working (as a coach since 2019) but I have not had many more offers. How is that for someone with my career? I'm not saying that a good playing career brings good clubs necessarily, but the lack of opportunity is an issue. It's not just me. Look at the likes of Thierry Henry (top left inset), Sol Campbell (centre top inset), Edgar Davids, Patrick Kluivert (bottom left inset) and so on.' The Dutchman is the only player to have won the Champions League with three different clubs and took the AC Milan job in 2014 after retiring but was sacked after four months by his former club. He hasn't had a coaching role since 2019 when he managed Cameroon.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic joked with CBS Sports presenters on Saturday asking where Champions League hosts Thierry Henry, Kate Abdo and Micah Richards were, as he appeared on the broadcaster's Serie A show. The legendary Swedish striker was a guest on the show ahead of AC Milan's shock 2-1 Serie A defeat against Parma. The 42-year-old joined Italian football legend Fabio Cannavaro, Mike Grella, former Leeds star Mike Grella and presenters Poppy Miller and Mike Messina.

England's ever-fading hopes of securing Michael Olise's international allegiances look set to finally be put to bed, with the French youth international in line for a first call up to the senior side according to reports.  Olise was eligible to play for both England and France - as well as Nigeria and Algeria - having been born in White City, west London to a Nigerian father and French-Algerian mother, and has been courted by both rival nations.  Olise has been called up to both the U18 and U21 French youth teams, and was a key part of Thierry Henry's Olympic set up over the summer at the Paris Games. 

Thierry Henry has walked away from his job as manager of France's under-21s team following the side's defeat by Spain in the Olympics final. The Arsenal legend was appointed into the role last August after stints coaching Belgium and managing Monaco and Montreal Impact. The position meant that Henry, who scored 51 goals in 123 matches for his national side, would also take charge of the French Olympic team during their home Games in Paris this summer. He managed to lead the side to an impressive silver medal, narrowly missing out on gold to Spain who beat them 5-3 after extra-time thanks to two late goals from Sergio Camello. And now Henry has quit the job after less than a year and revealed that 'reasons of his own' were behind the decision.

One France star was denied an Olympic silver medal due to a little-known rule after being snubbed by coach Thierry Henry. France made it through to the final of the tournament but the hosts were beaten 5-3 after extra-time by Spain in an enthralling final. Enzo Millot had given France the lead but Fermin Lopez scored twice to put Spain in front.

Team GB returned to London on Monday in the aftermath of another stunning Olympic Games that delivered plenty of talking points after epic performances and controversial moments.
