Former scrumhalf Dupuy, 33, played for Stade from 2009 after stints with Biarritz and Leicester before retiring.

Prop Azam, 42, spent his playing career at Clermont and Gloucester, before a coaching role Toulon from 2011, followed by Lyon and Oyonnax.

Stade Francais have come through a chaotic season during which their very existence was under threat until a proposed merger with Paris rivals Racing 92 fell through.
