Former Blackpool and Fleetwood Town pair Jamie Milligan and John Hills haven taken charge of non-league side Bamber Bridge.
Milligan has been named first-team manager at the Sir Tom Finney Stadium following the departure of Joey Collins last week.
Hills, who has recently been in interim charge of AFC Fylde alongside Brett Ormerod, will take on the role of assistant manager.
Milligan, who spent a number of seasons with Brig as a player, was also recently part of former manager Neil Reynolds' coaching setup.
The 39-year-old helped the club win promotion to the NPL Premier Division in 2017 and scored the opening goal in their 2-1 victory over Grantham Town in the League Cup final that same year.
A former Blackpool and Fleetwood player, Milligan has recently appeared for AFC Blackpool in the North West Counties League.
Brig have been without a manager after Collins quit due to personal reasons following last week's 5-1 win over Wythenshawe Amateurs in the LFA Challenge Trophy.
The new management team will take charge of their first game this Saturday when Brig face a trip to Whitby Town.

There were whispers 20 or so years ago that Bamber Bridge might start to have aspirations of league football.
Fleetwood and Fylde seem to have usurped them. | |

Jamie Milligan`s son was a trialist for PNE when young spud was playing there (there was one most weeks), but instead of coming and standing with the dads, Milligan was spying on him from some nearby woods like a pedo.
The PNE coaches became suspicious and went over to him, and when they realised it was Milligan they invited him out to join the rest of the parents. Milligan was really embarrassed and wouldn`t join the dads group. Everyone was laughing at him and he had to sidle off home. His kid never came again.... | | | |
