Russ Wilcox has been named the new manager of York City, with Steve Torpey named as his number two at Bootham Crescent.
York have moved quickly following the departure of Nigel Worthington earlier this week.
Chairman Jason McGill told the club's official website: "We believe Russ is the right person to take this club forward. He has excellent managerial experience and a track record of success in League Two.
"He is a hard-working individual and an excellent motivator and someone who shares our vision for the club now and in the future.''
Wilcox, 50, was sacked by Scunthorpe earlier this month after a poor run of results in Sky Bet League One.
He had taken over last December following a spell as caretaker boss at his former club and led the Iron to promotion last season having finished runners-up to Chesterfield in League Two.
Wilcox said "I am delighted to be the new manager of York City Football Club and I'm looking foward to the challenge ahead of me.
"The club has great potential with anew stadium on the horizon, and I feel I have the experience to help york City achieve success in League 2.
"I'm looking forward to meeting all the coaching staff and players on Thursday ahead of our home game against Shrewsbury on Saturday.
"I'm very excited and pleased to be embarking on this new journey."
