Hide AdMorris worked with Chatfield last season at FC Bolsover, who failed to record a single point in the first half of the 2018/19 NCEL Division One season, before taking 31 points from the second half.
Chatfield said: "Bruno (Morris) has been a lifelong friend of mine and has got a lot of knowledge in the game... And Stan (Stancliffe) is another good friend who brings a lot more knowledge from the other side, players-wise, and he compliments the team perfectly."
Morris previously worked for Derby County and held a Football in the Community Officer role with Chesterfield prior to that.
As a player he made 225 Football League starts as a Spireite and scored 45 goals, after signing from Rotherham.
