Leeds United have named Steve Staunton as assistant manager to Gary McAllister.
The former Republic of Ireland boss met the Leeds squad at their Thorp Arch training base yesterday.
Staunton, who won 102 international caps for the Republic, teams up with McAllister after the pair worked together at Coventry City.
The former Liverpool, Aston Villa and Bradford City full-back joined the Sky Blues as a player when McAllister was manager in August 2003.
Staunton was appointed successor to Brian Kerr as Republic coach in January 2006, but was sacked the following October following an unsuccessful Euro 2008 qualifying campaign.
It is believed Staunton will have the number two job until the end of the season.
