Mark Fotheringham has been named as the new head coach of the Terriers.
He is an assistant to Felix Magath at Hertha Berlin.
He is taking charge at Reading on Saturday.
His contract with the club was terminated due to his seven league defeats.
"Mark was our first choice after our very first meeting, and we have explored a wide range of options in our search for our next head coach."
He can add to what we do because of who he has worked for and with during his career so far, and his beliefs in coaching and football fit very well with our methods at the club.
Fotheringham, a former Celtic player who went on to play for a number of clubs during his career, has served his apprenticeship in coaching at three different places.
After helping Hertha to safety in the Bundesliga, the Dundonian said he was ready to become a manager.
Under Carlos Corberan, who resigned in July, the Terriers lost to Forest in the play-offs in their first season back in the top flight.
Although Lewis O'Brien and Harry Toffolo left for Forest in the off-season, the Terriers have recruited extensively with the addition of several new players.
The technical staff that Fotheringham will be working with include coaches Paul Harsley and Narcis Pelach, who had been in the interim.
