Dean Saunders was appointed assistant manager of Wales in June 2007, a role he will continue to undertake despite taking over from Brian Little at The Racecourse.
The 44-year-old praised Toshack for letting him combine both roles and said his pos
ition with Wales will not interfere with his job at Wrexham where he will miss just three matches this season.
"Geoff Moss has said it is not a problem and so has Tosh," said Saunders. "Without his help I couldn't do this and he wants to me to help Wrexham and Welsh football.
"We have got a lot of people here who are Welsh and playing for our teams. I can do both jobs.
"It is a Welsh club, I am Welsh, and I am here to help. We took over with Wales, you know the problems and where we are now. It has been a long slog to get to where we have got to with Wales and I proud to be involved in it.
"That is a massive part of my life and now this is an even bigger part of my life.
"I have just got to knuckle down and I can guarantee the supporters I am going to work as hard as I can out of self pride.
"Wrexham fans should be proud of their team and they are not at the minute. All that's going to change and even if I haven't got the best players on the pitch, I guarantee you will have 11 fighters on the pitch and that's all I can ask at the moment.
"I am used to challenges. We had lots of problems with Wales and we have now nearly got to the point where we have got a team where we are very nearly all proud of.
"We can stand our own against most people, and we've got a group of young players coming through."
Although he did not apply for the manager's job, Saunders, after being approached by Moss, was eager to help the chairman's ailing football club who he is hoping to steer back into the football club.
"I am Welsh and I have always wanted Wrexham to do well," said Saunders. "I have always wanted Swansea and Cardiff to do well. Newport County disappeared, I live in the area and I wanted Wrexham to do well.
"But I never envisaged myself working in non-league - and I wouldn't have for anybody else.
"It was only Wrexham I would have done the job for, I would not even contemplated doing it for anyone else.
"I am Welsh and I am determined to get Wrexham - for Welsh football and for myself - some success and that's what we will be trying to do in the next six months.
"With the catchment area of the club, the amount of players we have had out of north Wales, where are they going to go? Mickey Thomas and Joey Jones both started here and this club needs to be back in the league and I am determined to play my part in it."
