Warren Gatland has taken up a position as an advisor at Uruguayan team Penarol in his first rugby job since leaving Wales during the Six Nations.
In a post on Instagram, Penarol said the 61-year-old New Zealander will support coach Ivo Dugonjic and "turn all his knowledge into the service of the team."
Gatland and the Welsh Rugby Union agreed to part ways in February, two games into the Six Nations, and end an unhappy second spell as the national coach after 14 months.
He previously led Wales from 2008-19, during which time he also became coach of the British and Irish Lions to cement his standing as one of the world's best.
Penarol play in the Super Rugby Americas.
