Montpellier HSC boss Rene Girard has said that he is keen to coach in the Premier League.

The 59-year-old led the team to Ligue 1 glory last season, but will leave his post at the end of the season following four years in charge at the Stade de la Mosson.

"I still do not know what I'll do next year," he told Midi Libre.

"I'm very tempted by an experience in England. It's an important league with major football projects and excellent sports facilities."

Jean Fernandez has been tipped to succeed Girard at La Pallaide.
