THIERRY HENRY hilariously showed off his dance moves after leading France to the final at their home Olympic Games.
The hosts beat Egypt 3-1 after extra time on Monday to set up a gold medal match against Spain in Paris on Friday.
It was a Crystal Palace-inspired victory as Jean-Philippe Mateta‘s brace was added to by a third goal from ex-Eagles man Michael Olise – who recently joined Bayern Munich.
Jubilant scenes were shared on social media following France‘s semi-final victory.
And Lyon forward Rayan Cherki, 20, posted a video of manager Henry, 46, busting some moves.
The clip shows the French players singing and bouncing as they surround the former Arsenal striker.
Henry then proceeds to swing his arms and bob his head as he demonstrates some of his dance moves to his squad.
It was warmly received by the France players who seemed to be loving their head coach’s celebrations.
And fans online were also quick to praise the Gunners icon.
One said: “Thierry Henry is so entertaining.”
Another added: “Henry is really the man he thinks he is .”
A third replied: “Bahahhahaha he is such a king.”
PLAY DREAM TEAM AHEAD OF THE NEW SEASON!
While a fourth responded: “Lol he’s the best coach in the world I love him .”
France’s men’s team have not won Olympic gold since the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles when they beat Brazil 2-0 in the final.
Spain booked their spot in the gold medal match after claiming a 2-1 win over Morocco.
Nearly 15,000 residents – around 10,500 of which are athletes – will be cramming into the Olympic village between July 26 and August 11.
To ensure the athletes feel at home, a number of provisions have been made by organisers.
One of these is the stocking of some 300,000 condoms, in theory enough for around two every day during the run of the Games.
A number of Olympic athletes have opened the door on their steamy lives behind-the-scenes when in camp, including huge sex orgies and parties.
London 2012 had claimed the title of “the raunchiest Games ever”, but the 150,000 condoms ordered paled in comparison to the 450,000 ordered for the Rio Games four years later.
Condoms have been laid on by organisers at every game since Seoul 1988, when it they were used to spread awareness of HIV and AIDS.
Even with an intimacy ban at Tokyo 2020 due to Covid-19, some 150,000 johnnies were handed out.
