Roy Keane has been appointed assistant manager at Aston Villa. The former Manchester United player will combine the role with his existing job as number two to Republic of Ireland manager Martin O'Neill.
"I am delighted to be joining Villa and look forward to what promises to be an exciting challenge," Keane said.
The club did not disclose the length of Keane's contract.
"I am grateful to both Villa and the Football Association of Ireland for making this happen and would like also to thank Martin O'Neill," Keane added.
"I am relishing the prospect of linking up with Paul Lambert and combining both roles to the full advantage of both Villa and Ireland."
