League Two strugglers Salford City have appointed former Oxford and MK Dons boss Karl Robinson as their head coach.
It is Robinson’s first managerial role since leaving Oxford in February, while his most recent job was as assistant manager under Sam Allardyce at Leeds, in May.
He joins the club with the Ammies currently sitting 21st in the table.
Salford chief executive Nicky Butt told the club website: “Throughout the interview and appointment process he impressed us with his wealth of knowledge and ability.
“Salford City’s ambition is to play as high up in the Football League as possible so when we entered the recruitment process we felt it was important for us to appoint someone with experience of managing at a higher level, and Karl’s long-term vision for the club, drive and determination excited us.”
Robinson started his managerial at MK Dons, guiding the Buckinghamshire club to the Championship in the 2014-15 season.
Following a spell at Charlton, he then spent almost five years with Oxford, taking the U’s to the League One play-off final in 2020 where they were beaten by Wycombe.
