Former Bristol City boss Dean Holden has joined Stoke City as assistant manager to Michael O'Neill.
He replaces Billy McKinlay, 51, who left Stoke by mutual consent on Monday.
Holden was assistant boss at Oldham and Walsall in addition to Bristol City before taking over from Lee Johnson on an initial interim basis last July.
"I have no doubts that Dean will be an excellent appointment," O'Neill said.
"He knows the Championship well from his time in charge of Bristol City and he's an outstanding young coach with an excellent track record in developing younger players.
