Salford City have appointed former Blackpool and Blackburn boss Gary Bowyer as the club's permanent manager.
Bowyer arrived at Salford City in March on a short-term deal from Derby County Under-23s and inspired the club to 20 points from the final 11 games, earning the Manager of the Month award for April 2021 too.
They narrowly missed out on a place in the League Two play-offs.
The manager spoke about his excitement on the Salford City website.
“I’m really excited, it’s all happened very, very quickly and I’m delighted that it has.
“I have to thank Wayne Rooney and Derby County for their role that they have played in all of this, they’ve been magnificent for me.
“Now it’s a case of getting to work very quickly, everybody was very accommodating when I was here and made a real impression on me in the short space of time so it was a very easy decision.
“We’re really excited now leading into the summer, obviously there is a lot of work to do in terms of organising pre-season games, getting to work on the squad.
“We’ve got a real good core group here, and we’ll be looking to add the right characters and the right players to hopefully improve the squad further and give us a real opportunity going into next season.”
Bowyer and Salford will be targeting promotion next season so they will be expected to start the season in a positive way.
