Former Blackburn midfielder Mark Patterson has returned to Accrington as first-team coach.
The 44-year-old, who had a spell at the Crown Ground towards the end of his playing career, will take on the role as a replacement for Pablo Asensio.
Patterson has previously been manager of Chorley, Darwen, Leigh RMI and Scarborough.
"He's a good lad and he has a lot of experience," manager John Coleman told the Lancashire Telegraph.
