Mark Kennedy has been named the new head coach of Lincoln City.
The former Republic of Ireland international winger left his job as an assistant at the League One club to take charge.
"We have been hugely impressed by Mark's knowledge, energy, drive and passion," said Clive Imps chairman.
He impressed us with his desire to develop players while creating an aggressive, attacking style of play.
Kennedy was hired by Lee Bowyer at St Andrew's in June of last year and spent 11 months there.
He is the third backroom employee to leave the club since the end of the season.
Kennedy resigned as manager of the Silkmen in August 2020 after seven months in the job.
After three years in charge, Michael Appleton left Lincoln on 30 April, after they finished 17th in League One.
