Andy Hessenthaler has been confirmed as Leyton Orient's new permanent manager.
Hessenthaler had been in charge of first-team affairs for the last five games of the season on an interim basis after Kevin Nolan stepped down as player-manager in April.
The former Dover Athletic boss will be the O's sixth manager since Russell Slade left for Cardiff during the earlier part of the 2014/2015 season.
A statement on the club's website said: "The club are confident they have the right man for the job and believe Andy's expertise, spirit and passion made him the stand-out candidate for the position."
Hessenthaler took Gillingham to the League Two play-offs in 2012 in his second spell in charge, whilst guiding them to the Championship in his first stint, something Orient will hope he can replicate.
He has signed a one-year deal with the option of an extension.
