FORMER Guiseley boss Steve Kittrick is back in management after taking the vacant role at Vanarama Conference side AFC Telford United.
Kittrick left Conference North outfit Guiseley last September after six years at Nethermoor. He took the Lions into Step 2 football but saw his side fall at the play-off hurdle three times.
Telford, who sacked Liam Watson last week, have appointed an experienced head in Kittrick but he faces a tough task of keeping the Bucks in Non-League's top-flight.
Following the 4-3 defeat to Eastleigh on Saturday, Telford are rock bottom of the table and 13 points adrift of safety. They are winless in five league games.
Kittrick's first game in charge will be the short trip to fellow strugglers Nuneaton Town on Boxing Day. Andy Todd will act as Kittrick's assistant.
Chairman Ian Dosser said: “We conducted a thorough process and we were impressed with the quality of candidates interviewed.
“Steve demonstrated a real passion for and knowledge of the club. He has an excellent track record and clearly likes his teams to play with an eye catching style.
“He's hungry to succeed, we're hungry to succeed. We are delighted with his appointment.”
