Burnley have named Brian Laws as their new manager
The ex-Clarets defender takes over at Burnley from Owen Coyle, who left the club for Barclays Premier League rivals Bolton last week.
The appointment represents a remarkable transformation of fortunes for Brian Law, who was sacked by Championship strugglers Wednesday just last month.
A club statement read: "We believe Brian will deliver a continuity of the culture to which Burnley fans and staff have become accustomed.
"As a former Burnley defender, he is especially familiar with the club, the traditions we have and the passion we all share."
Veteran captain Graham Alexander, 38, has also been handed a new role as a player-coach.
The new coaching team is set to be unveiled at a press conference at the ground this afternoon.
