OFFICIAL: CF Montreal coach Thierry Henry steps down due to family reasons

TORONTO, Canada—One of Major League Soccer’s most iconic names is on his way out.

CF Montreal head coach Thierry Henry has stepped down from his position after a year-and-a-half in charge, citing family reasons amid a global pandemic.

“It is with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to take this decision,” said Thierry Henry in a statement released by the club. “The last year has been an extremely difficult one for me personally. Due to the worldwide pandemic, I was unable to see my children. Unfortunately due to the ongoing restrictions and the fact that we will have to relocate to the US again for several months will be no different.
