Aston Villa set-piece coach Austin MacPhee has landed a new role in the Portugal national team.
It is understood that the 45-year-old specialist will combine his new job as the assistant coach with his current position at Villa Park.
The news emerged a few months after MacPhee left his role in Scotland for personal reasons following almost three years in action.
Formerly a youth team player, he had a long coaching career in various clubs such as Cowdenbeath, St Mirren, Hearts and Midtjylland.
Now, the Scotsman will be part of Portugal's technical team, which will prepare the squad for the forthcoming 2026 World Cup.
