After losing the World Cup final to Italy on penalties in July, Barthez has been looking for a way back into football with his first club Toulouse.

"The only club I wanted to go to was not so happy to have me," said Barthez.

"It happens and you have to live with it.

"I needed an adventure and I have only done things that I want to."
