Familiar face
Lee, 43, has left his role as manager of Middlesbrough Under-23s to join the League Two side.
He started his playing career at Hartlepool and went on to make over 200 appearances for them in all competitions.
The former defender also had spells at Sheffield Wednesday, Doncaster Rovers, Bradford City and Notts County before hanging up his boots.
‘Planning and prepping’…
Lee is assessing the squad he has inherited now and is making plans for January. He has told Hartlepool’s YouTube channel:
“We’ve got a month now to assess the squad, what we might need and what we’re looking at. That’s our next two/three weeks of planning and prepping so we’re ready for January for what we need to do.”
