MEXICO, June 12 (AFP): France's World Cup winning goalkeeper Fabien Barthez signed for Mexican club Nexca Aguascalientes Mon-day according to the team president.
The 35-year-old 87-times capped goalkeeper had already announced his retirement from football after a stormy term with French First Division outfit Nantes - who have since been relegated - last April.
"We can announce the transfer of Fabien Barthez, who will come here for a year," said club president Javier Perez Teuffer.
