The 33-year-old former AC Milan and Inter Milan star, a free agent, had been training with Deportivo and did enough to convince coach Clarence Seedorf to offer him a temporary contract.
“Muntari, who has been training with the team since February 9, signed with Deportivo until the end of the season,” said a club statement.
Released by Pescara in Italy last year, Muntari made his name with Inter Milan (2008-2011) and then AC Milan (2012-2015) where he also played for Seedorf when the Dutchman was in charge of the Serie A giants.
Deportivo La Coruna are second from bottom of La Liga, three points from safety and have won just once in their last 14 league games.
