Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Former France, Arsenal and Barcelona striker Thierry Henry \u2013 now a professional football coach, pundit, sports broadcaster \u2013 has revealed that he struggled with mental health during his career.<\/p>\n

The 46-year-old, currently the manager of the France national under-21 team, retired from professional football in December 2014, after a glittering 20-year club career.<\/p>\n

“Throughout my career, and since I was born, I must have been in depression. Did I know it? No. Did I do something about it? No. But I adapted to a certain way,” Henry told The Diary Of A CEO podcast.<\/p>\n

He said it was a difficult time for him during the Covid-19 pandemic, when he was managing Canadian Major League Soccer side CF Montre\u0301al (2019\u20132021).<\/p>\n

“I was in isolation in Montreal, and not being able to see my kids for a year was tough. Tears were coming alone. Why I don’t know, but maybe they were there for a very long time.”<\/p>\n

Considered one of the greatest strikers of all time, and one of the greatest players in Premier League history, Henry also played for Monaco, Juventus and New York Red Bulls.<\/p>\n

He won two Premier League titles before moving to Barcelona, where he won a pair of La Liga titles as well as the Champions League. In 1996 he was a member of the European under-18 championship team, and two years later he played on the French national team that won the FIFA World Cup.<\/p>\n
