Matt Roach will take over from current mentor Steve Kidd after this season.
Macquarie officials made the announcement on Friday.
Newcastle Rugby League premiership-winning coach Adam Bettridge, who led the Scorpions to victory in 2017, was full of praise for the incoming and outgoing mentors.
"Congrats to @mjroach83 on the job for the next few years at the Scorps, couldn't be happier for you mate and all the hard work you have put in. Club is in great hands," Bettridge posted on social media.
"Well done to @kiddy on the job you have done, hopefully go out with a trophy this year."
There are five rounds remaining in the Newcastle RL competition with equal-fourth Macquarie away to Western Suburbs at Harker Oval on Sunday.
