Coupet signs for PSG


Former France international goalkeeper Gregory Coupet signed for French giants Paris Saint Germain on a two year contract from Spanish side Atletico Madrid.

"Its signed and sealed, for two years," confirmed the 36-year-old former Lyon star on leaving PSG's headquarters.

Coupet, who spent 12 seasons at Lyon and was capped 34 times, will replace Mickael Landreau, who is set to join PSG's rivals Lille.

Coupet, who retired from international football following France's first round exit at Euro 2008, failed to make the first choice spot at Atletico and played just six times in the Spanish league and twice in the Champions League as he played second fiddle to Argentinian Leo Franco.

Coupet, who launched a tirade against France coach Raymond Domenech last September accusing him of being a dictator, should also be joined at PSG by Sochaux' Turkish forward Mevlut Erding.
