“It’s a separation that is done on very good terms. Right now, his only concern is his family, ”insists President Kevin Gilmore.
However, if Henry were to find a new job in the coming months, the team will not be left with nothing to do with it.
“Considering what happened last week [NDLR : des rumeurs l’envoyant à Bournemouth], we made sure that there would be compensation if there was a job elsewhere. ”
Hard blow
From a marketing point of view, it is a big blow for CF Montreal which tries to make pass its change of identity which is not yet embraced by the partisans.
Henry fit perfectly into the club’s desire to develop a more international image. The proof, the news of his departure went around the world quickly, being picked up by all sports networks.
“From a marketing point of view, of course it affects us because it had reach that could only help us.”
“We were creating something very special with a very strong and promising relationship. He will always be associated with this club, which he led for a year. “
Next season
We are now wondering what the team’s plans are for this season since we already know that they will have to at least play the first months south of the border, which is why Thierry Henry gave up his job.
“We are in the process of finalizing the final details to make it easier for the players and staff,” said Kevin Gilmore.
“We want to allow everyone to be able to feel as much at home as possible.”
We can therefore think that the team is trying to rent apartments so that the players can travel with their families. It only remains to know where it will be, but two options are preferred.
“We were in New Jersey last year, so we have a familiarity there. But we are also looking towards Florida. We want to complete this in the coming days. ”
