Barnet have appointed Kevin Nugent as their new head coach.
The 47-year-old leaves his role as assistant manager at Charlton to become boss of the Sky Bet League Two Bees, replacing Rossi Eames and Henry Newman who had been interim coaches at The Hive since Martin Allen's departure in December.
Nugent has enjoyed coaching spells at Swansea, Cardiff, Luton and Leyton Orient but this is his first permanent managerial position.
Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous said: "Kevin Nugent is a highly-respected coach within the game and comes to us with a wealth of experience at our level of football.
"He has been highly recommended as the man to help us with the task at hand and we welcome his decision to join us.
"He will slot into our management structure, ably assisted by Rossi Eames, and they will be continuing with the recent progress.
"As outlined in my previous statement when Martin Allen left, there will inevitably be a period of transition with some highs and lows.
"Unfortunately, Henry has decided to look for first-team opportunities elsewhere and has chosen to leave the club and academy. He goes with our best wishes for the fine work he has done for us.
"Of course it goes without saying that our number one aim is to get promoted this year, so the brief as always is to get results - we want to get to League One and we are still in with a chance."
