Perrinelle, who previously managed Monaco’s academy side, was integrated into the first-team set-up under Adi Hutter. He remained there last season, despite the Austrian’s departure, and was an important part of Sébastien Pocognoli’s staff.
However, at the end of the season, it was announced that Perrinelle would leave. Despite the Principality club’s desire to retain Perrinelle, the Frenchman wished to become a first-team manager. His exit was officialised in May.
Speaking to RMC Sport, he hypothesised taking charge of a Ligue 2 club and an excellent opportunity quickly arose. Grégory Poirier left Red Star at the end of the season, having led the club to the Ligue 1 promotion/ relegation play-offs.
This will be Perrinelle’s first role as a first-team manager. His appointment was confirmed on Monday but the length of his contract was not revealed.
