Montpellier coach Michel de Zakarian has slammed France U21 coach Thierry Henry.

De Zakarian blasted the Arsenal legend over his criticism of the standard of Ligue 1 and lack of quality attackers.

He told Midi Libre: “I do not agree with Thierry Henry.

"Where did he train? What did he do in Monaco? It was three months and he left. The guy works for the FFF and criticises French football. This is bull****!

"It's easy to denigrate the championship when you are coach of the France Espoirs team. He won twice 4-0, but against whom? He didn't beat anyone. If he wins 5-0 against Spain or Italy and I will then say bravo...!"
