Falkirk have confirmed the appointment of Eddie May as head coach to replace John Hughes.
May leads the new management team with Steven Pressley and Alex Smith assisting the former youth development coach.
The move was expected following Hughes' departure to Hibernian earlier in the month after the club stayed in The SPL on the last day of the season.
May has played a key role behind-the-scenes nurturing the talent at The Bairns, transforming Darren Barr, Thomas Scobbie and Scott Arfield into key players in the side.
“I was offered the job a week ago. It took me a couple of days to accept, then I looked at who could assist me,” May said.
“Steven Pressley is a fantastic leader of men, a fantastic organiser, while Alex Smith has done everything in the game.
“I had a conversation with him three years ago, which stuck in my mind, when he told me he was here to help young coaches.”
He added: “It's a fantastic opportunity for Falkirk Football Club to move up to the next level.
“It's a big challenge ahead but I'm confident and would like to thank the board for the opportunity.”
