Former Leicester boss Claudio Ranieri has agreed a two-year deal to manage Ligue 1 side Nantes.
The Italian, who led the Foxes to the Premier League title in 2016, has been without a club since being sacked by City in February.
"FC Nantes is pleased to announce the arrival of Claudio Ranieri at the head of his professional group," a statement on the club's official website said.
Ranieri had to be granted approval from the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP) to manage Nantes due to him being at the 65-year age limit.
The much-travelled coach lists Monaco, Juventus and Chelsea amongst his former clubs and replaces Sergio Conceicao, who recently took charge at Porto.
