Norwegian Solbakken, 44, has signed a contract, the length of which was not disclosed, which starts on July 1.

Terry Connor, who has been in charge since the sacking of Mick McCarthy in early February, will lead the team in Sunday's final Barclays Premier League game at Wigan before standing down.
