Scunthorpe-born Cox leaves his job as Neal Ardley's assistant at Notts County and will be tasked with mounting a promotion challenge in Sky Bet League Two.
"It's the easiest decision I've ever made," he told the club's official website. "When I left this club 29 years ago it was the hardest one I'd ever made.
"I didn't really want to leave but I had no option. When I had the conversation with the chairman about what we want to do, I couldn't wait to get here.
