Burkina Faso boss appointed on two-year deal

Le Mans have appointed Burkina Faso boss Paulo Duarte as their new manager on a two-year deal. The Ligue 1 outfit changed their coach twice last season, with Daniel Jeandupeux taking over from Yves Bertucci, before being replaced by Arnaud Cormier. Duarte, 40, will also continue in his role as Burkina Faso boss until 31st March 2010. "Paulo Duarte will be the new Le Mans coach for the next two seasons," said a statement on Le Mans' official website. "He will also go on with his mission with the Burkina Faso national team until 31st March 2010." Duarte will be assisted by Cormier, who was in charge of the team for the last few matches of the season.
