Former Southampton goalkeeper Kelvin Davis has been named National League club Eastleigh's new manager.
Richard Hill left the club by "mutual consent" on Saturday after a 3-0 defeat against Ebbsfleet left the south coast outfit without a win in nine matches.
Davis, 47, made 687 appearances in a career that spanned 22 years, including 301 games for Saints.
He began his career at Luton, where he played more than 100 matches, before moving to Wimbledon in 1999.
After 147 games for the Dons, Davis had spells at Ipswich Town and Sunderland before spending a decade at Southampton.
Davis has previously coached at Southampton and Lincoln City.
Danny Butterfield, who was most recently assistant head coach at Lincoln, has been named as Davis' assistant manager.
Eastleigh are 15th in the league and face bottom side Oxford City on Tuesday.
