Sky Bet League Two side Swindon Town have appointed Richie Wellens as their new manager.
The former Oldham boss will be joined by Noel Hunt, who comes in as the club's new assistant manager.
Hunt featured for the likes of Reading, Leeds and Ipswich during his playing career before joining Irish league side Waterford as a player-assistant in May.
Speaking to the club website, Wellens said "for me, it’s a great opportunity to manage a football club that is well-run, has a good infrastructure, and a tradition, over the last six or seven years, of playing a style that I want to play.
"I want to get the ball down, play positive, quick, passing football and bring results and success to this football club, because at this moment it is underachieving.”
"For me, that style of play is the most important thing, exciting the fans. I had my first job at Oldham, which was going fantastically well, but the pitch deteriorated very badly and I had to change the way I played.
"I didn’t want to do that – I won’t have that problem here because the pitch is in fantastic condition.
"I’ll meet the players and as quickly as possible, make them feel comfortable. They had a good weekend result and I want to continue that confidence – Thursday, Friday; we’ll look ahead to the Carlisle game."
Swindon are currently 17th in the Sky Bet League Two table, seven points adrift of the play-offs.
