After 15 years of good and loyal service, the French team is over for this star of Les Bleues…
Here is a new page which is turning for the French selection, in the wake of the withdrawal of Antoine Griezmann among the men. While the first selection of Laurent Bonadei, former assistant to Hervé Renard, is expected this Thursday, October 17, Amandine Henry has decided to anticipate this announcement by formalizing her international retirement.
On social networks this Sunday, the player with 109 caps – for 14 goals scored – communicated: “ After so many years of passion, challenges and unforgettable memories, it is time for me to turn the page. It is with immense emotion that I announce to you today my decision to end my career with the French team. »
A bitter return to selection
International since April 2009, the one who wore the captain’s armband between 2014 and 2020, had experienced darker hours in the selection, sidelined for three years under the Corinne Deacon era. His return to business unfortunately did not meet with the expected success, with a final failure observed this summer during the Paris Olympics, where the Blues were unable to reach the quarter-finals.
A former OL figure, who spent time in the United States through Portland, Los Angeles and Salt Lake City, Amandine Henry will be able to devote the end of her career to her new club, in Mexico, Toluca FC. “
I had the immense honor of wearing this jersey, the pride of defending our colors with fervor and the happiness of sharing unforgettable moments with my teammates. », concludes the one who has just celebrated her 35th birthday.
