Thierry Henry 'is STILL yet to sign a two-year contract as France U21 manager' despite already being named the new boss by the FFF

Thierry Henry is still yet to sign a two-year contract as the new coach of France's Under 21 team, despite already having been announced by the French Football Federation (FFF), according to reports.

The ex-Arsenal and Barcelona star, who held the all-time goal scoring record for Les Bleus before Olivier Giroud took his crown at the Qatar World Cup, has long been linked with a move to the Espoirs dugout.

As recently as last Sunday the former striker was seen on Amazon Prime's coverage of Ligue 1 fending off suggestions he was set to be announced as the new boss, laughing off comments and calling for an ad break to avoid answering.
