Former Liverpool defender Stephane Henchoz has been appointed coach of Swiss club Sion for next season.
Sion confirmed in a statement Henchoz was given a one-year contract with an option for a second campaign.
The former Switzerland center back is still preparing for the post-season relegation playoffs as coach of Neuchatel Xamax, which had already decided not to retain him.
Henchoz played in the Liverpool team that won five trophies in 2001, including the UEFA Cup and the FA Cup. He also played for Switzerland at two European Championships.
The 44-year-old played 135 league games over six seasons at Anfield between 1999 and 2005 after moving from Blackburn.
Spells at Celtic and Wigan followed before ending his career in 2008 following a return to Blackburn.
Henchoz earned 72 caps for Switzerland between 1993 and 2006, appearing at Euro 96 and Euro 2004.
