Julen Lopetegui has been appointed head coach of the Qatar national team, almost four months after being sacked by West Ham.
The 58-year-old Spaniard's deal runs until 2027 and takes in the ongoing qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup.
Qatar, who participated at the last World Cup as hosts, failed to secure a spot for next year's finals in the initial qualification stage but can still progress with further rounds being played.
Lopetegui has previously worked in international football as Spain manager.
He took over in 2016 but was sacked two days before the 2018 World Cup after being appointed Real Madrid manager.
