Robert Page had been caretaker boss since 2020, when Giggs was arrested on assault charges. Giggs, who has always denied any wrongdoing, formally stepped down as Wales boss ahead of his trial.

He returned to football in March, when he was appointed Salford's new director of football. In November he was seen on the touchline with Robinson as Salford drew 2-2 with Fleetwood. While he was also present as the Ammies beat Shrewsbury 2-1 in the FA Cup.
