Horseman has been managing the Saints Under-23s side.
And he was assistant to interim manager Ruben Selles last season.
It brings to an end Dingley’s 14-day reign in caretaker charge where she became the first female to manage an English professional football side.
Chairman and owner Dale Vince received around 100 applications for the job.
And it is understood that Dingley was not in the reckoning.
An insider told SunSport: “Hannah was the most senior coach left at the club after Duncan Ferguson left the club with his coaching team.
“She has done a great job preparing the players the past two weeks and will now go back to running the club’s academy.”
Horseman has worked previously in backroom coaching positions at Watford and Bristol City.

Owner Vince previously told SunSport that Dingley would only get the job on a permanent basis based on merit.
Speaking at the time of her appointment as interim boss, he said: “I haven’t asked if she will apply for it. I’ve only just spoken to her for the first time since we made the announcement.
“I don’t know if she’ll apply for it or not. If she does she’ll be in the process with everybody else. We’ll have hundreds of applicants, we’ll do a thorough job and we’ll appoint on merit.
“It doesn’t matter what your gender is, your sexuality, your gender, your race, it doesn’t matter.”
