It means the trigger happy owners of the club, Manchester United's infamous 'Class of 92', are now searching for their fourth manager in just two years.

A on the club's website said: "Salford City Football announces the departure of First Team Manager Gary Bowyer from The Peninsula Stadium.

"A meeting was held earlier today and the Club has made the decision to terminate Gary Bowyer’s contract along with Assistant Manager Billy Barr.

"The Club would like to thank Gary and Billy for their hard work over the last season, and we wish them all the best for their future roles within football.

"An announcement regarding the role of First Team Manager will be made in due course."

Sky Sports pundit Gary Neville has previously been for his approach to hiring and firing managers, being labelled a hypocrite for arguing that managers should be given more time in a job.

The manager before Bowyer, Richie Wellens, lasted just four months and was sacked despite guiding the club to the EFL Trophy.
