Thierry Henry Shares His Coaching Experience.

In his first extensive comments since his departure from the club last month, former CF Montréal head coach Thierry Henry detailed the difficulties he faced in charge of the team during the 2020 season, a year he called the most difficult of his young coaching career because of the coronavirus pandemic.

Appearing on Monday Night Football as an analyst as part of Sky Sports’ coverage of the Premier League, Henry answered questions about the particular struggles he and his team faced as COVID-19 travel restrictions required Montréal and MLS’ other Canadian teams to spend much of the 2020 season on the road.

Henry, who departed Montréal on Feb. 25 in order to return to London to be with his children, said he personally had to quarantine for around 150 days over the last year, only one challenge in a series of them.
