He rose through the coaching ranks at Roker before becoming their assistant manager under Bob Stokoe, He later joined Stokoe at Blackpool and eventually became their boss. There followed stints as assistant manager at Crystal Palace to Steve Coppell; Chelsea, under lan Porterfield; and Bradford City with Trevor Cherry. Most recently, before joining the Shakers, Tement was boss at Hull City.

"We wanted to end the uncertainty and speculation and give Stan the opportunity to be his own man," declared the chairman. "He will want to make changes and now he has the freedom to do so. The first thing he wants to do is bring in a player-coach and we have told him to go-ahead. We have been impressed with the way Stan has conducted himself since Mike Walsh left and he has the best interests of this club very much at heart."
