Chelmsford City have appointed former Southend United midfielder Kevin Maher as their new head coach.
Maher, 37, began his career at Tottenham, but made his name at Roots Hall, where he made more than 400 appearances.
He also played for Oldham, Gillingham and Dagenham & Redbridge in the Football League and finished last season with Whitehawk, where he faced the Clarets in January.
Manager Mark Hawkes said: "This is a positive move by the club and his experience will help us as we prepare for the forthcoming season."
