Former Coventry City player and manager Steven Pressley is the new manager of Carlisle United.
Pressley, made nineteen appearances as a player and managed City from 2013 to 2015.
The 45 year old Scot has since managed at Fleetwood Town and in Greece and will manage Carlisle for the rest of this season with an option of another season.
Carlisle Chairman Andrew Jenkins told his club's website: "We're really pleased to have Steven on board. He impressed us immensely during the interview process and his enthusiasm to take what is a very attractive job on really shone through.
"He's taken time to watch us, and he spoke a lot about the fact that he's seen us play the type of football he likes to see. He's identified that there are good players here in the squad and he feels he can continue the fantastic work that has already been done this season.
"As a player, he played for his country and was a team captain with a number of clubs before going on to do his managerial apprenticeship in some very tough and demanding situations. That level of experience is something we feel can only help.
"The challenge of keeping the momentum going and maintaining our push for a successful end to the season is one he is looking forward to.
"It's unusual for a manager to come into a club in this situation, but he's looking forward to working with the staff who are already here on keeping the intensity levels high, and on achieving continued positive results.
"We're pleased to have concluded this process within a relatively quick timeframe.
"With two weeks left of the transfer window it's important that we get the squad back to a level where we know we will be competing every week.
"Steven has built up a lot of contacts both north and south of the border through what has been a very successful career, and I'm sure he will be focused on getting that side of things sorted so that all of the concentration can then be on the 18 games we have left to play."
