Free agent Bacary Sagna to relaunch career with first club since Manchester City release

Bacary Sagna was a solid right-back

Former Arsenal and Manchester City full-back Bacary Sagna is set to relaunch his career with Italian minnows Benevento.

The Frenchman is a free agent after leaving City in the summer and is said to be extremely keen to kick-start his career once more.

Sagna, who won the FA Cup with Arsenal in 2014, made over 260 appearances during a 10-year spell in England.

After leaving the Gunners in 2014, the 34-year-old joined City and added the League Cup winners medal to his trophy cabinet in 2016.

The experienced defender found first-team opportunities extremely rare under current City boss Pep Guardiola and eventually left last summer.

But, according to Corriere dello Sport, Sagna is set to pen a deal at Benevento.

Sagna will have his hands full though, with Benevento rooted to the foot of the table, picking up just seven points from their 21 league matches so far.
