Gael Clichy to coach Mbappe's club Caen
Audio By Vocalize
Former Arsenal and Manchester City star Gael Clichy was
appointed coach at French third division side Caen on Monday.
The Norman club is owned by Kylian Mbappe, whose takeover was
followed by relegation to the third tier of French league football last season.
The 40-year-old Clichy was assistant to Thierry Henry as
coach of the French Olympic side at the 2024 Games, but this is his first stint
as head coach.
"He will bring high level experience and knowledge of
the modern game," Caen said.
Caen, who have won four of their past 15 games, fired the previous coach Maxime d'Ornano earlier Monday.
