Robson becomes the fifth man in just over a year to take the hot seat at Underhill, after the former Charlton Athletic midfielder left his role as first-team coach at Championship side Peterborough.
The 43-year-old, who also had a spell coaching at Gillingham, has been instated to help develop the club’s youth academy, in addition to the primary task of overseeing first-team duties at the North London club.
Barnet director of Football Paul Fairclough spoke of his admiration for Robson and believes the decision was made with the long-term future of the club in mind.
Speaking to club’s website Fairclough said: “I want the club to become renowned for the way they pass the ball and try to play their way through opposition, as opposed to over them. Obviously results are important but those results can be achieved by playing good, entertaining football.”
He continued: “In Mark Robson we have secured the services of a forward-thinking coach who will lead the club along a new and exciting pathway. I truly see this as a new dawn for Barnet Football Club.”
