Jimmy Walker has been named assistant manager at West Ham United.
The 49-year-old has been working as part of Paul Konchesky's coaching team since the beginning of the new season, and now makes the step up into the No2 role after the departure of Edu Rubio.
“Firstly, I'm delighted to be given this wonderful opportunity," the former West Ham goalkeeper told the club's website.
“I've really enjoyed working with the players here since Konch (Paul Konchesky) asked me to come in and help out with the goalkeepers.
“I've got a really tight relationship with Konch, that goes all the way back to when we were teammates, so I'm pleased that I'm able to work alongside him.
“It's an exciting opportunity for me – we've got some great quality within the squad and I'm hoping that we can have a successful season."
