The 67-year-old is returning to the Conference North club, where he started his managerial career in 1971. </p>

Atkinson went on to manage Cambridge, West Brom (twice), Manchester United, Sheffield Wednesday (twice), Aston Villa, Coventry and Nottingham Forest. </p>

He has been out of football since 2004 when he lost his job as an ITV pundit for making an on-air racist comment. </p>

The comment was about Marcel Desailly, then of Chelsea, and was made after a Champions League match when Atkinson thought he was off-air. </p>

He parted company with ITV and did not find offers to return to football or the media forthcoming, although recently he spent very brief spells at Swindon and Peterborough as a consultant, for the benefit of a television programme.
