Matthieu Delpierre signs with Melbourne Victory for one A-League season
Melbourne Victory have signed French defender Matthieu Delpierre on a one-year A-League deal.
The 33-year-old, who led VfB Stuttgart to the Bundesliga title in 2006-2007, joins the Victory from Dutch club FC Utrecht.
His arrival follows the addition of star striker Besart Berisha and midfielder Carl Valeri to the side's squad for next season.
The six-foot-four centreback played 162 games for Stuttgart in the German top-flight between 2004 and 2012, before briefly switching to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
He previously enjoyed a stint at French outfit Lille from 1999 to 2004.
"Matthieu is a proven performer with experience at the highest level against some of the best strikers in Europe, so we know he has what it takes to be successful in the A-League," Victory coach Kevin Muscat said on Monday.
