Richie Wellens has been appointed the new manager at League Two side Salford City.
The 40-year-old, who secured promotion with Swindon as League Two champions in the 2019-20 season, has signed a deal with Salford until the end of the 2022-23 campaign after leaving the Robins.
Paul Scholes had been placed in temporary charge of Salford following the dismissal of Graham Alexander earlier in October.
Salford are 10th in League Two having won four of their opening 10 games.
Co-owner and Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville added: "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.
"His knowledge of the area and the club having played for ourselves and come through the youth ranks at Manchester United also fits in with the profile we were looking for.
"We look forward to achieving success together."
