Peter Moores has signed two-year deal to continue his coaching role with Nottinghamshire.
Moores, 52, initially joined the county in July for a three-month period but following his arrival Notts won 14, drew two and lost four of their 20 remaining matches.
The run saw them finish third in the LV= County Championship and reach the semi-finals of the Royal London One-Day Cup.
Nottinghamshire director of cricket Mick Newell said: "Bringing Peter to the club, alongside the emergence of our young bowlers and Chris Read's return from injury, helped turn the second half of our season around.
"He brought enthusiasm and energy to the role as well as a lot of experience that our players and coaches really benefited from.
"It was originally a short-term appointment but, with Peter very much enjoying being a part of things, we had the opportunity to make it more permanent, which is terrific for us.
"He will continue to work alongside the existing coaches - something that has worked well in 2015 - and hopefully he can help us enjoy a successful next couple of seasons."
Moores has won the LV= County Championship on two occasions, with Sussex in 2003 and with Lancashire in 2011. He was the England & Wales Cricket Board's National Academy Director for a two-year period .
"Working as coaching consultant at Trent Bridge has been a fantastic fit for me, giving me the freedom to work closely with both the players and coaches on a day-to-day basis," Moores said.
"The role gives me the opportunity to do specific one-to-one work with the players to support them to be at the top of their game throughout the season.
"The goal for all players is to play internationally and it's great to see so many of the Notts players involved with England squads this winter.
"Our performances in the second half of last season showed the potential of the group and if we can build on that next season, we will put ourselves in a position to enjoy some success."
