Kevin Nolan is the new player-manager of League Two Leyton Orient - their sixth boss in 18 months since Francesco Becchetti took control of the club.
Nolan, 33, had been training with the East Londoners after leaving West Ham in August and now has his first managerial job.
Nolan, the midfielder who also played for Bolton and Newcastle, replaces Ian Hendon who was sacked at the weekend.
"Kevin brings with him invaluable expertise and know-how, with 17 years' experience in high-level football," said a club statement.
"A number of strong candidates were interviewed by the chairman, but Kevin's hunger, desire and passion to succeed at Leyton Orient, coupled with his experience, were key in the decision process."
