The 56-year-old only arrived at Bescot as interim assistant on September 29, but joins newly-appointed Jack Wilshere's backroom staff at Kenilworth Road with immediate effect. 

Powell was brought in to temporarily replace Gary Waddock, who has been forced to step aside for a number of months after undergoing ankle surgery. 

In total, Powell spent just two weeks in the role, and it remains to be seen whether Walsall will look to find another replacement. 

"We would like to thank Chris for his effort during his time with us and wish him well for the future," read a club statement.
