Warren Gatland has taken up an advisory role in Uruguayan rugby three months after ending his second spell as Wales head coach.
The 61-year-old New Zealander will join Uruguay's professional club side Penarol for the Super Rugby Americas (SRA) play-off finals.
Gatland left his job as Wales head coach in February, two games into the 2025 Six Nations after a record-breaking run of 14 successive Test match defeats.
SRA semi-finalists Penarol announced his short-term role on social media declaring, "Welcome Warren Gatland".
The Montevideo-based club added: "The legendary New Zealand coach joins Penarol as an advisor to [head coach] Ivo Dugonjic and the entire Penarol staff to put all his knowledge to work for the team."
Reports from South America say Gatland will also contribute to Uruguay's bid to reach the Rugby World Cup, with a qualifier against Paraguay in August before potentially playing either Chile or Brazil for a place at the 2027 tournament in Australia.
Gatland is one of rugby's most successful coaches, with spells at Connacht, Wasps, Waikato and Super Rugby side Chiefs in addition to an international career which began at the helm of Ireland in 1998.
He led the British and Irish Lions to a series victory against Australia in 2013 and a draw against the All Blacks four years later.
