He will begin work on Monday with first-team coaches Marcus Bignot, Steve Mildenhall and Gavin Gunning taking charge of the League Two game against Gillingham at the County Ground on Saturday.
“I’m delighted to be back working in football after a period out of the game,” Holloway said
“I wanted to get back into it if the right opportunity arose which, with this opportunity, I feel is the perfect fit for me.
“Conversations happened very quickly and both sides were very keen to get the deal done and of course, I was delighted to engage with a club like Swindon Town, a club of whom I know a lot about due to my location and knowledge of the local area.
“I want to be able to bring everyone together to deliver success and positivity on the off the pitch and I’m delighted to be at The Nigel Eady County Ground tomorrow to meet you all for the first time as Swindon Town Manager and I look forward to a successful time working together.”
