Gabriel Heinze has been appointed as the new coach of Newell s Old Boys.
The former Argentina defender replaces Adrian Coria, who had been caretaker boss following Javier Sanguinetti s resignation in August.
Heinze s last coaching role was with MLS franchise Atlanta United, where he was in charge for only seven months before being sacked.
The ex-Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United and Real Madrid full-back will now continue his coaching career in his homeland at the club where he started and ended his playing days.
Six-time Argentine champions Newell s did not state the length of contract Heinze has signed.
The 44-year-old also coached Godoy Cruz, Argentinos Juniors and Velez Sarsfield before a spell in the United States.
