Iestyn Harris will take over from Brian Noble as the new head coach of Super League club Salford, Red Devils owner Marwan Koukash announced on Friday.
Noble's 12-month tenure will officially come to an end on Monday, although he will be offered the chance to stay on as football director.
Salford are currently ninth in the Super League table after losing four of their first seven matches.
"Iestyn Harris will become the head coach as from Monday," Koukash tweeted on Friday.
Wales coach Harris was not at Dewsbury on Friday for Wigan's Challenge Cup tie which appeared to confirm he has already left his role as assistant to Warriors boss Shaun Wane.
It is not known whether Noble will agree to move "upstairs".
The former Bradford, Wigan and Great Britain boss succeeded Phil Veivers at Barton just 12 months ago and revamped the squad.
"Brian Noble has been offered the position of director of football," Koukash said.
"We hope he will accept to continue with his excellent work.
"Discussions also continue to bring top NRL coach Shane Flanagan to the Red Devils as a coaching consultant, hope to progress next week."
