Jamie Clapham was unemployed for less than a day after quitting as Coventry City assistant manager.
Clapham has walked straight into a job as a coach at Barnsley and will assist Paul Heckingbottom.
The job is a short term one and Heckingbottom told barnsleyfc.co.uk, “I’m delighted that Jamie can come in at such short notice and help us out with first team duties. I’ve known him for a long time now, I know what he’s capable of, and he will be a big help to me and the players, particularly as we go in to a big Yorkshire derby at the weekend. He already knows some of the players and playing staff here so its a good fit, and the timing of it has worked out well.”
