Former Arsenal and Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has joined Serie A's bottom team, Benevento, for the rest of the season.
Sagna , who won 65 caps for France, has been without a club since leaving Manchester City last summer.
The deal for the 34-year-old Frenchman was announced on Saturday, and includes an option for a further year.
A statement on Benevento's club website read: "This morning, at the Caravaggio Sporting Village in Naples, an agreement was reached between Benevento Calcio and footballer Bacary Sagna.

"The deal includes the option for the extension until June 30, 2019.
"Bacary Sagna will be available to coach Roberto De Zerbi from next week."

Benevento prop up the rest of the table in Serie A, having collected just seven points from their first 22 games.
The newly-promoted side made the worst start to a Serie A season in history when they went the first 14 games without a win.
Goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli made headlines when he joined the attack for an iniury-time free-kick against AC Milan, and scored to earn his side their first point of the season in dramatic fashion.
