Nicky Butt is to take over from fellow co-owner Gary Neville as chief executive of Salford, the League Two club have announced.
Neville took on the role on a part-time basis after he and former Manchester United 'Class of 92' team-mates Butt, Phil Neville, Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs purchased the club along with Singaporean businessman Peter Lim eight years ago.
Since the acquisition, the club have risen from the Northern Premier League First Division North - the eighth tier of English football - to reach the League ranks and ex-team-mate David Beckham has joined them as an investor.
