Thierry Henry has resigned from his role as manager of France's youth teams after earning a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, the French Football Federation announced on Monday.

An ecstatic Luis de la Fuente, coach of Spain's senior national team, said his country's football should be more highly valued after the under-23 side's triumph in the final of the Olympic tournament against France on Friday.

Spain's 5-3 win over France to capture the Olympic gold medal has capped off what has already been an impressive summer for the country's sporting program.
