Huddersfield have announced Danny Cowley has been appointed as their new manager.
Cowley departs Lincoln City, along with brother Nicky, who will become his assistant at the Terriers.
Town Chairman Phil Hodgkinson explained: "I am delighted to be able to welcome Danny and Nicky Cowley to Huddersfield Town today.
"From the outset, David Webb and I knew how important this next appointment is for the Club. We undertook a very detailed and thorough process to identify the right person to lead the First Team forward, first outlining the qualities we were looking for in the right candidate and then establishing which managers matched them.
"Our research, due diligence and work resulted in a shortlist of four candidates, and Danny Cowley was number one. His track record is there for all to see he has led his previous teams to five promotions and several cup successes and our character references revealed a man who is one of the most detailed managers around; meticulous in his preparation, and highly regarded by his peers.
"Having approached Lincoln City and gained permission to speak to the Cowleys, they initially decided they wanted to continue the superb job they had done at that club and turned down the opportunity to discuss our job. At that stage we could have easily pursued one of the other options we had identified all of which are fine managers but David and I felt it was important to try and persuade them to talk to us. We firmly believed that they were the best men to take us forward, and we didn't want to give up on them.
"Our persistence paid off and when we spoke, there was an obvious chemistry. They believe in the way we operate as a Club and it affirmed that they would be a superb fit for us. As such, I'm delighted that they are joining us."
