Abstract. We deal with a $(1, 1)$-tensor field $\alpha$ on the tangent bundle $TM$ preserving vertical vectors and such that $J\alpha =-\alpha J$ is a $(1, 1)$-tensor field on $M$, where $J$ is the canonical almost tangent structure on $TM$. A connection $\Gamma _{\alpha}$ on $TM$ is constructed by $\alpha$. It is shown that if $\alpha$ is a $VB$-almost complex structure on $TM$ without torsion then $\Gamma _{\alpha}$ is a unique linear symmetric connection such that $\alpha (\Gamma _{\alpha})=\Gamma _{\alpha}$ and $\nabla _{\Gamma _{\alpha}} (J\alpha) =0$.
