The 56-year-old had been out of management since leaving his role as Queens Park Rangers boss in May 2018.

Holloway succeeds Michael Jolley, who was sacked on 15 November after a seven-game winless run.

"The board believes securing someone of Ian's experience and reputation demonstrates our commitment to bringing success back to Blundell Park," said majority shareholder John Fenty.

"We believe his track record of achieving success at unfashionable, underperforming clubs makes him an attractive long-term appointment."

The Mariners have not won a game in more than three months - a run of 15 games - and have slipped to 21st in League Two, six points above bottom side Stevenage.

Holloway has twice guided teams to promotion to the Premier League, winning the play-offs with Blackpool in 2010 and Crystal Palace in 2013.
