Richie Wellens has returned to Salford after being appointed as the League Two club’s new manager. The 40-year-old, who scored once in nine appearances for the then National League North outfit in 2016, replaces Graham Alexander, who was sacked last month and replaced on an interim basis by Paul Scholes. Neville said: “Richie is someone we know well from Manchester United and his previous spell here. “He has success at this level after winning the League Two title with Swindon Town last season, and his philosophy to play attacking football is what we want to bring fans at The Peninsula Stadium. We look forward to achieving success together.”
