Chris Coleman's nomadic managerial career continues as he takes over at Asteras Tripolis in Greece.
The Welshman was most recently in charge of Belgian side OH Leuven leading the team to European play-offs but being unable to secure a spot in Europe that ultimately cost him his job.
Now Coleman is returning to Greek football after having previously coached at Larissa and Atromitos.
"I am looking forward to the new challenge," Coleman said at his unveiling on Wednesday.
"I have known Asteras since I was at AEL and Atromitos. It is a very good club, serious, which is in a situation that does not suit it and needs to change. I have faced such situations in my career and I am here to do the same with Asteras.
"This is not the time for many words, but for a lot of work. What matters is to win the next game and change direction.
I hope that Asteras fans will enjoy what they see on the pitch. I would like to ask them to stand by us, to support us, and we will fight hard and do our best for them."
The former Wales manager will be hoping to lift his new side off the bottom of the table when Asteras host Kifisias following the international break.
