Despite the Ligue 1 team’s desire to keep him, the Frenchman opted to pursue his ambition of becoming a senior head coach, with his departure confirmed in May.
Speaking to RMC Sport, Perrinelle had expressed interest in managing a Ligue 2 club, and the opportunity soon arose after Gregory Poirier left Red Star following the club’s run to the Ligue 1 promotion/relegation play-offs.
His appointment was confirmed on Monday, although contract details were not disclosed.
