Neil Harris and David Livermore will take up their roles as Cardiff City manager and assistant manager on Monday.
The pair worked together at Millwall for over four and a half years before resigning last month. They have signed a contract until summer 2022.
The club also confirmed the departure of Neil Warnock's backroom staff Kevin Blackwell and Ronnie Jepson. Coaches Andy Dibble and James Rowberry remain and will continue as goalkeeping coach and first team coach respectively.
Harris' appointment has been met with a muted response from the Cardiff City supporters. It seems that the decision to appoint Harris was made ahead of Neil Warnock's departure and most likely on Warnock's recommendation.
Harris' first job is to raise the squad after two dreadful derby day defeats in the last three games and have them firing for Saturday's Sky TV fixture away at Charlton (12 noon).
Hia record at Millwall shows a 41.6% win rate with the following stats over 245 games managed.
