Malaga have announced that Marcelo Romero has been appointed as the club's new head coach.
The former Uruguay international had been assistant coach to Juande Ramos, who left by mutual consent on Tuesday following a run of five matches without a win.
"Marcelo Romero will stay at the helm of the team," a Malaga statement confirmed.
"The ex-Malaga player and current member of the coaching team over the last three seasons will be head coach of the first team indefinitely."
