World Cup winner Steven Nzonzi signed for Al Rayyan on Tuesday, following James Rodriguez to the Qatari club coached by another French world champion, Laurent Blanc.
Al-Rayyan announced the signing without detailing the length of the 32-year-old French midfielder’s contract.
Nzonzi was out of favor at Roma which loaned him over the past two years to Galatasaray and Rennes.
He joined the Italian club from Sevilla after helping France win the 2018 World Cup. Nzonzi played in the final as a second-half substitute in France’s 4-2 win over Croatia.
Colombia playmaker James Rodriguez joined the club last week from Everton.
