The former Arsenal striker, who took his first managerial job with the Ligue 1 side in October, was caught berating Kenny Lala from the touchline as the defender took a throw-in near the dugouts just before half-time.
Henry believed the Strasbourg star was already wasting time with his side 2-1 up, and shouted: 'It's the 43rd minute, your grandmother's whore.'
The 41-year-old then told a nearby official: 'He's got to stop now, that's enough.'
But after being caught on camera abusing Lala, Henry took a moment during his press conference on Sunday to apologise for his comments.
'It's an expression of the street, unfortunately,' he said.
'I regret my comments from the bench. It was a human reaction, I'm still human. I regret it.
'Sometimes I do it in English. Maybe in English it wouldn't have been as noticeable. No, I'm joking. I should not do it.'
