Dino Maamria has stepped up two divisions to become the new Stevenage manager after impressing at Nuneaton Town.
After taking over in October, he's moved the National League North side up to 13th and picked up the manager of the month away for February.
Maamria returns to the League Two side having previously had three spells there as a player, coach and assistant manager.
Stevenage sacked their manager Darren Sarll after two years in charge on Sunday.
The club received permission to talk to the 46-year-old yesterday and chairman Phil Wallace has explained why he's brought Maamria back to the club.
He said: “Obviously Dino is well known to us, having worked here as a player, coach and assistant manager over the years.
“I have always loved his passion for the club, our fans and for winning football matches. The Nuneaton chairman was outstanding in the way he handled our interest but he was desperately sad to see Dino leave after the difference he had made to their results.
“We had a lot of applications for the job yesterday but we needed to bring Dino back home and we wanted him in charge for the home game against Colchester on Saturday. I hope our fans will turn out in force to welcome him back.”
