Coach Frederic Antonetti has parted company with French Ligue 1 strugglers Lille, the club confirmed on Tuesday.

The 55-year-old Corsican coach has agreed terms to leave the club "in a friendly manner," a statement from the northern outfit said.

Antonetti paid the price for a disastrous start to the season with the 2011 Ligue 1 winners second from bottom of the table with nine losses from 13 games.
