He emphasised the importance of teamwork and a tenacious approach both on and off the field.
"Peter brings an elite and diverse experience to the club - delivering football that is proactive and on the front foot," CEO Gavin Fleig said.
"We look forward to introducing Peter to our supporters."
"Peter brings a style of football that we like to watch – exciting, attacking football," Chief Football Advisor Paul Scholes added.
Having begun his career in his native Australia, Cklamovski worked alongside Ange Postecoglu, contributing to Australia’s AFC Asian Cup success and World Cup qualifications.
His previous roles included managing Yokohama F. Marinos to a J1 League title and improving Montedio Yamagata’s performance in Japan’s J2 League.
