Gary Neville and Man Utd Class of 92 set to hire former Liverpool star as coach at Salford City
MARTIN KELLY is ready to cut his coaching teeth with Salford.
The ex-Liverpool, Crystal Palace and England defender works with the League Two Ammies after playing for them in pre-season.
His playing career ended at Wigan and the 34-year-old hopes to carry on but may focus on climbing the ladder off the field.
Salford, currently under manager Karl Robinson, are 16th in League Two.
The Class of 92-owned outfit have only won three out of their first 10 matches.
And the Ammies suffered their fourth defeat on Saturday after a 2-1 loss to Grimsby Town at the Peninsula Stadium.
Robinson’s side have now lost three of their last five matches in League Two.
The poor start to the campaign may force Neville and fellow Manchester United legends Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt as well as his brother Phil Neville to shake things up in the dugout.
Robinson addressed Salford’s latest loss and declared he was “absolutely fuming” with the referees.
The 44-year-old tactician said: “I would love to know how it could be that bad of a performance, it’s impossible.

“The penalty is an absolute disgrace. I can say our defending and finishing was a disgrace at times today as well, but that was only part of the story today.
“Some of the tackles as well, I’m surprised that some of my players aren’t in a worse place.
“I’d say the better team lost. At the end of the day they won, but I am absolutely fuming on external influences on the result.
“It sounds worse when you lose, but at the end of the day that was not an acceptable performance from the officials today.
“Our defending for the two goals was appalling, though, and I’ve gone absolutely crazy at the players.
“We were the better team today and I don’t think anybody could argue that with the chances we created.”
