Former
Chelsea midfielder, Claude Makelele has been named as the new manager of Ligue
1 side Bastia.
The 41-year-old former French international, who had been
serving as assistant to Laurent Blanc at Paris St Germain, has left the post
after he was given a two-year deal at Bastia.
While announcing the appointment, the Ligue one club said on
the club's official website: "Sporting Club Bastia is pleased to announce
that Claude Makelele will be the trainer for the next two seasons. "He will arrive in Bastia on Monday when he will sign
his contract before being presented to the press the next day."
Makelele began his coaching career when he joined Carlo
Ancelotti's staff at PSG following his retirement from active football in 2011.
The former Real Madrid midfielder stayed in the capital when
the Italian left for Real Madrid but will now take on his first managerial job
on Corsica.
Makelele won 71 France caps in a glittering playing career
which saw him represent Celta Vigo, Real Madrid, Chelsea and PSG.
