Kilmarnock have confirmed the appointment of Steve Clarke as their new manager.
The former West Bromwich Albion and Reading boss replaces Lee McCulloch, who left the Scottish Premiership club earlier this month.
Clarke has been given a three-year contract at Rugby Park and will be assisted by former Charlton Athletic defender Alex Dyer.
"I'm delighted to be back in football and I'm especially delighted to be named Kilmarnock manager," Clarke told the club's website.
"In my discussions with the board we spoke about stability and while we need to fix the current situation, I'm looking to provide that stability to this great club.
"I'm looking forward to working with the board, staff, players and supporters to ensure future success at the club."
A statement read: "The board of directors are delighted to have secured the services of such a well-respected and talented manager.
"Steve has a proven track record in British and European football and we look forward to welcoming him to Rugby Park."
Clarke has been out of work since leaving his role as Aston Villa assistant manager a year ago.
