Dean Holdsworth believes Chelmsford City have huge potential after he was unveiled as the club's new manager.
The former Newport County and Aldershot Town boss met the media at the weekend and is thrilled to take the reins at Melbourne Park.
He said: "We've agreed terms. I'm delighted and very proud. I've watched Chelmsford over a number of years, managed against them, and I've always valued it as a very good club in this division and always thought of the potential of the football club."
The former Wimbledon striker is hoping to inject some of the Crazy Gang team spirit into his Clarets side, adding: "My management style is very much based on man management and creating a feel good factor inside the dressing room, dealing with players and making sure players enjoy training, playing and hopefully, winning football matches."
Holdsworth has been handed a two-year contract by Mansell Wallace and the City board, and with a number of players having left the club already at the end of the season, his first task will be a rebuilding job.
But he admits that he has to be realistic with his targets as clubs everywhere look to cut their cloth.
"There's so much potential with this football club, the ambition is there," he added. "But we have to be realistic with what we can and can't afford.
"But I think that's with football as a whole at the moment, I don't think it's any different for many other clubs.
"We have to be prudent and manage what's in front of us."
