Torquay United have unveiled former Exeter City number two Paul Buckle as their new manager.
Buckle, 36, will replace Leroy Rosenior in the Plainmoor hot-seat after the former boss fell victim to a change in ownership less than 60 minutes after returning for a second stint in charge of the Conference-bound club.
Former director of football Colin Lee is now chief executive and believes Buckle - who played for the club in the mid 1990s - has the right credentials to help the Gulls return to the Football League.
"We are delighted to have Paul on board," he told the club's official website.
"I believe he will prove to be an outstanding managerial talent, someone who shares our core beliefs, values and work ethic."
Buckle added: "I am delighted and very proud to be given the opportunity to manage Torquay.
"I am looking forward to working with everybody at the club as we begin a new era."
