(CNN) -- Paris Saint-Germain completed the signing of Brazilian international defender Alex from Chelsea Friday on a two-and-a-half-year deal. The 29-year-old is re-united with PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti, who was in charge at Chelsea when they won the English Premier League and FA Cup double in 2010. He had fallen out of favor under Andre Villas-Boas and was also a target for fellow EPL side Queens Park Rangers, but chose the Parisian giants. "I knew about PSG's immense stature and that made me want to come," Alex told the club's official website. "For the past two months I've wanted to leave Chelsea and we finally opened talks with PSG. Everything went very well."
