Karl Lewis is returning to Llantwit Major for a third stint as manager.
Lewis spent six years at the Windmill Lane club, overseeing the most successful spell in their 63-year history - including the Cymru South title in 2021-22.
He takes over from Ben Stait, who resigned as manager last week after two seasons in charge.
Lewis initially joined Llantwit in 2016, guiding the club to back-to-back promotions in the old Welsh Football League by winning the Division Two and Division Three titles - with such players as Sam Snaith and Adam Roscrow, who went onto ply their trade in the Cymru Premier.
The club joined the new Cymru South in 2019, when Lewis was briefly succeeded by Darren Robinson as manager, before returning for what turned out to be a curtailed season due to the Covid pandemic.
Despite being tipped to face a relegation battle, Lewis led Llantwit to the league championship in 2021-22 with the likes of top scorer Tom Walters and Connor Goldsworthy playing key roles.
But when Major were refused promotion to the top flight by the FAW, Lewis quit and took seven members of his title-winning squad to Briton Ferry Llansawel, where he was briefly part of Andy Hill's backroom staff.
By November, he had become manager at Goytre United, but left the club ten months following a poor start to the 2023-24 campaign.
Now, Lewis is back at Llantwit with the club looking to grow both on and off the pitch.
A club spokesperson said: "With the plans the club have in place to improve our facilities and stadium, Karl is ready to get to work and continue the journey together."
"The players are also very excited to work under the new manager and deliver on our goals for 2025-26!"
And while the build-up to next season is in its early stages, Lewis is hoping to meet up with Windmill Army supporters to discuss the road ahead at a clubhouse meeting on Tuesday 6th May at 7pm.
