Phil Neville and Paul Scholes were in the dug-out on Saturday to guide Salford City to a 2-1 win over Kendal Town.

The pair took the reins of the club they part own along with Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs and Gary Neville after the Evo-Stik First Division North side sacked management team Phil Power and Dave Chadwick on Saturday morning.

It's their first management role since teaming up as part of Giggs' backroom staff at United last season following the departure of David Moyes.

But despite a winning start, it's likely to be only a short-term role with Anthony Johnson and Bernard Morley, who left Ramsbottom United on Saturday, set to take over permanently.

A Salford City statement released on Saturday read: "Salford City Football Club would like to announce that discussions between the owners of SCFC and the committee have led to the departure, with immediate effect, of team manager Phil Power.

The committee and owners would like to thank Phil for all his hard work and commitment and wish him all the best for the future.

"The Club feel they need to take a new direction and will in due course announce plans for the team going forward."
