“It’s a huge honour to be offered the role by the club, and one I could never turn down,” Postlethwaite told the club’s official website.
“I’ve got huge boots to fill as the job Glen, Steve and Steve Huntington have done over the years has been phenomenal. But we have a great set of lads who, like myself and Dan, are desperate to do the club proud.
“We hope the fans and the town will continue to back us and this young squad.”
The new management team’s first game in charge will be away at Shawbury United this Saturday.
