Former Toronto FC manager Chris Armas is set to join the Manchester United coaching staff following the arrival of Ralf Rangnick.
Armas was fired by Toronto in July after less than six months in charge. During his time at the helm, Toronto suffered a 7-1 defeat to D.C. United – the worst margin in the club’s history.
Nevertheless, Armas will look to redeem himself at Manchester United after being recruited as the first new member of Rangnick's backroom staff.
According to ESPN, Armas was given his work permit on Tuesday morning after initially being denied for not having a UEFA Pro License.
Armas will now line-up alongside Rangnick in the Manchester United dugout as the German's assistant manager.
Rangnick previously said he would retain the majority of the club's current backroom staff 'because I need their experience and expertise.' However, he did say he would hire 'one or two' additional staff members.
Speaking at his first press conference, Rangnick said: 'I am more than happy to work with the current coaching staff because I need their experience and expertise regarding the current squad.
'I will obviously try to find one, two, maybe three people who can join us in the next one or two weeks but due to the Brexit regulations it is not that easy.
'Many of my former colleagues, no matter if it is video analysts or assistant coaches, are in long-term contracts with big clubs, so they are not available right now. We have to be a little bit smart and clever and find the right people.
'I hope that we can get them in here in the next one or two weeks but I cannot tell you any names.'
