Like André-Pierre Gignac in 2015, Amandine Henry has decided to join Mexico by signing for two seasons with the Toluca club.
Amandine Henry has definitely been on the move since leaving Olympique Lyonnais a little over a year ago. Since the start of summer 2023, the French international has already played for Angel City and Utah Royals in the United States as well as for Lille, for a stint. And a new move awaits her since the former Lyon player has decided to join Toluca in Mexico.
The announcement is somewhat surprising. “The experienced 34-year-old French midfielder joins the ranks of the Red Devils for the 2024 opening tournament of the Mexican Championship,” The Mexican club also rejoiced after wishing the “welcome to hell” to her new player. However, Amandine Henry is not the first to follow in the footsteps of André-Pierre Gignac, who left for Mexico in the summer of 2015.
Amandine Henry wants to continue in the French team
Aurélie Kaci, Kheira Hamraoui and Cécilia Bensalem, Amandine Henry’s future teammate in Toluca, have already taken the step in addition to the Atlantic. “Amandine wanted to discover a new championship before hanging up her boots. Amandine wants to become a manager, she is aware of the need to speak several languages, justified his agent Sonia Souid to
The Team. She chose the Toluca club because she found herself in its values.”
And despite her exile in Mexico, Amandine Henry has not given up on the French team, the midfielder, reduced to a bare minimum during the Olympics, intending to continue the adventure until the Euro in Switzerland next summer. “Several Spanish internationals play in Mexico, but that hasn’t stopped them from becoming world champions, his agent also observed. More and more international players will be required to play in the United States or Mexico. It would be a shame to block their path to the French team because of a question of flight hours.”
Despite his departure to Mexico, André-Pierre Gignac was able to play in Euro 2016 before being forgotten by Didier Deschamps.
