Holland, also the club’s academy manager, made 114 league appearances for Chesterfield and played in the 1997 FA Cup semi-final.

He said: “Toddy and I are delighted to be taking the wheel at such an exciting time for the club.

“As well as the excellent group of experienced players in the squad we have a significant number of exciting young players ready to progress from our Academy and CFC (Community) set up.”

Since retiring Holland has been manager of both Mansfield Town and Ilkeston.
