Manchester United have appointed Ricky Sbragia as their new Under-23s manager.
Sbragia, 61, replaces Warren Joyce, who left Old Trafford to become Wigan boss in November. Academy chief Nicky Butt has been temporary manager for the last seven months.
Sbragia, who left his role as Scotland Under-21 manager in September, worked as United's reserves coach between 2002 and 2005 and managed Sunderland in the Premier League in 2009.
He said: "I couldn't be happier to be back at Manchester United. It's an exciting time for the club, with a new structure for the Academy and a relatively new set of coaches and management team.
"I am really excited by the challenge of this role, the club has always been at the forefront when it comes to Academy football and I am delighted that the club continues to strive to be the best with its forward-thinking ideas for the future of youth football."
Butt added: "Ricky brings a wealth of experience at all levels of football coaching. He has a great track record of developing young talent and is, of course, no stranger to Manchester United.
"Ricky's knowledge and experience will help continue our important and key tradition of blooding young players into the first team. I am delighted Ricky has returned to the club in this important role as we look to continue our development of the Academy."
