René Girard's mission will be to keep Paris FC in Ligue 2. - JEE / SIPA

After Jérémy Ménez at the end of September, Paris FC has just arrived another big name in French football, but this time on the bench. The second club in the capital, currently 19th in Ligue 2, formalized on Monday the arrival of René Girard as coach to replace Mecha Bazdarevic. Free since his departure from Wydad Casablanca last November, the former Lille coach will have to relieve the club to avoid him relegation at the end of the season.

“I really wanted to go on a new adventure. Abroad, it was complicated. In France, I was no longer too popular ... The challenge of Paris FC seemed to me interesting, he said in the columns of Midi Libre , before going a little more in detail. I'm no longer old enough to wait fifteen years. It's Ligue 2, it's not a skirmish destination because there were no other opportunities. In Paris, I met people, a president, who really wanted to work with me. René Girard will start his Parisian adventure with a trip to Sochaux on January 10.
