Berlin (AFP) – Brazilian centre-back Dante will reunite with former coach Lucien Favre at Nice in Ligue 1 after completing his move from Wolfsburg, the two clubs announced on Monday.
The 32-year-old returns to France a decade after spending two years at Lille early in his career and will rejoin Favre, whom he played under at Borussia Moenchengladbach while in Germany.
Dante won the Champions League with Bayern Munich in 2013 and was part of three Bundesliga title-winning sides during his time in Bavaria.
He also helped Wolfsburg make a surprise run to the quarter-finals of Europe’s premier club competition last season and has been capped 13 times at international level.
Wolfsburg have already sold Germany internationals Andre Schuerrle and Max Kruse this summer, although the Wolves were able to recruit striker Mario Gomez from Fiorentina.
