Micky Mellon has been named Tranmere Rovers' new manager.
Mellon spent almost four years in charge of Rovers from 2016 to 2020, but his first spell ended on a sour note.
The club were relegated into League Two last season, via the controversial points-per-game (PPG) method. The Covid-19 pandemic meant the third and fourth tiers were halted early.
The PPG method meant Rovers slipped into the dropzone and as a result went down, despite having a game in hand on their rivals.
Mellon had a year to run on his deal but was poached by Dundee United last summer.
He guided them to a ninth-placed finish in their first season back in the Scottish Premiership but left by mutual consent last week.
Now, Tranmere have moved quickly to re-hire the 49-year-old following Keith Hill's sacking earlier this month.
"It is great to be back," Mellon told Rovers' website.
"When I went to Scotland following our demotion from League One, it left a sense of unfinished business and I am pleased to have the opportunity to right that wrong.
"Tranmere is a forward-thinking club with an exciting future, and I wanted to be part of that, so I can't wait to get started and be reunited with the SWA once again."
