Cardiff head coach Paul Trollope has joined the Wales backroom team.
The former Wales midfielder has been appointed national team coach following the departure of Fulham boss Kit Symons, who left his role as assistant manager following the Euro 2016 qualifying victory over Belgium last month to concentrate on matters at Craven Cottage.
Trollope takes over the position of national team coach with Osian Roberts promoted to become manager Chris Coleman's assistant.
"On both a personal and professional level, we are very sad to lose Kit but I fully understand the reasons behind his decision and wish him the very best of luck at Fulham," Coleman said in a Football Association of Wales statement.
"I am however, delighted to welcome on board another former teammate of mine, Paul Trollope, who is a young and highly thought of coach.
"Paul will be a great team member and will fit in perfectly with the staff."
Trollope, who won nine caps for Wales between 1997 and 2003, joined Sky Bet Championship club Cardiff in February after having previously managed Bristol Rovers for five years until 2010 and had coaching spells at Birmingham and Norwich.
The 43-year-old will continue to assist manager Russell Slade at Cardiff and Bluebirds chief executive Ken Choo said: "As a club we are proud and pleased to see Paul recognised by the FAW.
"Whilst his primary focus remains on the task at hand here at Cardiff City, we are happy for the national side to use Paul's talent to their benefit, at agreed junctures, as they pursue a place in the European Championships."
Wales are unbeaten in Euro 2016 qualifying and top of their group with Coleman's side probably needing only two wins from their final four games to reach a first major championship since the 1958 World Cup.
