Salvatore Monaco has joined the club as assistant head of recruitment, having received the relevant Governing Body Endorsement from the Football Association and subsequent work permit.
Salvatore previously worked with Roberto as part of his staff at Shakhtar Donetsk and will be part of the recruitment team working under head of recruitment Paul Winstanley.
Technical director David Weir said, “Salvatore will join our recruitment team, working closely with Paul, replacing Kyle Macaulay, who moved with Graham Potter to Chelsea last month.
“He is someone Roberto knows well having worked together in the past and will be an excellent addition to the team, as we look forward to January and beyond.”
The 49-year-old played as a central defender for Catania, Salernitana, Foggia, Perugia, Ternana, Fano, Trento and Catanzaro.
