Robbie Keane is to make his managerial debut after being named player-manager of Indian Super League side ATK.
The former Republic of Ireland international will take charge of ATK's final game of the season, against NorthEast United, and will be assisted by former Bolton and Finland goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen.
Keane, who holds a UEFA A coaching license, said: "I've been given responsibility for the team ahead of the game. We've prepared these last few days to the best of our ability and we're looking forward to the game.
"The training sessions have been enjoyable, everything is ready and I'm excited for the challenge."
ATK are second bottom of the ISL table - a considerable fall from grace for last season's champions.
Teddy Sheringham was previously in charge at ATK, but was sacked in January after just 10 matches in charge.
Keane has been at ATK since August, and has scored five goals since his arrival in India.
