Former Reggae Boyz head coach Heimir Hallgrimsson has found a new home after being announced on Wednesday as the new head coach of the Republic of Ireland national team.
The 57-year-old's announcement ends an eight-month search for a permanent successor to Stephen Kenny.
Hallgrímsson was joint head coach of his native Iceland alongside Lars Lagerback when they stunned England to reach the quarter-finals at Euro 2016.
Hallgrimsson managed 26 games with the Reggae Boyz and had 11 wins 10 losses and 5 drawn results.
He was in sole control when Iceland reached the 2018 World Cup Finals and achieved their highest ever FIFA world ranking of 18th during his time in charge.
