Kenny Miller has been confirmed as the permanent manager of Maccabi Tel Aviv after he guided them to the Israeli Cup last term.

And he has appointed St Mirren assistant manager Stuart Taylor as his No.2.

The former Old Firm striker took over from Ronny Deila as caretaker last season and helped them to their cup triumph.

"From the moment I arrived at the club, I felt the passion, ambition and expectations that make Maccabi such a special place.

"I am grateful for the trust shown in me by everyone at the club and I am excited to continue working with the players and staff as we prepare for the challenges ahead."

Maccabi confirmed Miller will be assisted by former Hamilton Accies boss Taylor, who was also No.2 at Dundee and to Craig McLeish at St Mirren.

Owner Mitch Goldhar said: “Since joining Maccabi in January, Kenny has earned the respect of all of us with his professionalism, work ethic and understanding of the standards, values and ambitions expected at Maccabi Tel Aviv."
