Salford City co-owner Paul Scholes has been appointed interim head coach of the League Two club after manager Graham Alexander was sacked.
Alexander was informed of the club’s decision to terminate his contract on Monday morning, with City fifth in League Two after two wins in five matches this season.
Former Manchester United midfielder Scholes, who had a brief and unsuccessful spell in charge of Oldham in 2019 – the first managerial role of his career, will oversee first-team proceedings as the club search for a new manager.
His first game in charge of Salford will be this Saturday at 10th-placed Port Vale in the league.
Scholes part owns Salford City with his former Class of ’92 team-mates Gary and Phil Neville, David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt. They control a combined 50 per cent stake in the club. (SKY)
