Udinese have named Spanish coach Julio Velazquez as their new manager.
The 36-year-old, who joins the club off the back of a two-year stint with Alcorcon in his homeland, will take charge of the Italian outfit on July 1.
Velazquez succeeds Massimo Oddo at the Stadio Friuli, with his predecessor having been sacked in April off the back of 11 consecutive Serie A defeats.
Former Croatia defender Igor Tudor took temporary charge of Udinese until the end of the season, guiding the club to 14th-placed finish in the Italian top flight.
Velazquez will hold his first press conference as Udinese boss on Friday.
