MK Dons have signed former Liverpool and Germany midfielder Dietmar Hamann on a one-year contract.
The 36-year-old, who has not played a professional game since leaving Manchester City last July, will become a player-coach at Stadium MK.
Dons boss Karl Robinson worked as a youth coach at Anfield while Hamann was a player there.
He made 191 Premier League appearances for Liverpool and won the Champions League with them in 2005.
At international level, Hamann won 59 caps for Germany and was part of the 1998 and 2002 World Cup squads, as well as the European Championships in 2000 and 2004.
Following his success in the World Cup in France in 1998, he made his move to the Premier League from Bayern Munich and joined Newcastle United for £5.5m, scoring five goals in 31 appearances.
Hamann then joined Liverpool, making 282 appearances in seven years and helping Rafa Benitez's side clinch the Champions League.
After a very brief spell at Bolton in 2006, he moved to Manchester City for £400,000 and spent three years at Eastlands before being released last summer.
