Former Salford boss Graham Alexander is set to be appointed Motherwell's new manager. Alexander has won the race to succeed Stephen Robinson and is expected to be installed before Well face St Mirren in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday. Former St Johnstone boss Tommy Wright and ex-Sunderland manager Simon Grayson are also believed to have been interviewed for the role. Alexander was sacked by Salford after five games of this season despite being unbeaten in League Two. The former Scotland international was previously manager of Fleetwood, achieving promotion to League One, and Scunthorpe, who he guided to the League One play-offs.
