Keane, who has previously managed Sunderland and Ipswich, became Paul Lambert's deputy this summer.
However, he will continue part-time in his role as No 2 to former Villa chief Martin O'Neill with the Republic of Ireland.
Given said: "I've known Roy for a number of years. It's great to have him here. He's a real leader.
"He always gets talked about for his dark side and shouting at people but he's been very helpful for all the players."
