Salford City, the club co-owned by a host of former Manchester United players, could be set for more managerial upheaval. The Ammies just missed out on the League Two play-offs last season for the third year in succession since their promotion into the EFL in 2019.
Manager Gary Bowyer signed a two-year contract last May but there is a chance that the arrangement could be ended prematurely. A report in the Athletic claims Salford's hierarchy are considering the possibility of getting rid of Bowyer and replacing him with ex-Lincoln chief Michael Appleton.
Speaking after missing out on a place in the top-seven, Bowyer said: "It's disappointing 100 per cent, and the lads are absolutely gutted because they gave everything like they have done again today. They're a great set of lads to work with and we've got to come back stronger now."
