The former Manchester United and England defender became a part-owner of the Ammies in 2014 and has overseen four promotions in that time, including last season’s historic ascent into the Football League.
They’ve since climbed to 11th place in League Two – just three points off the play-offs – and the Sky Sports pundit hasn’t ruled out continuing their incredible rise at the first time of asking.
Neville and his fellow owners appointed Alexander as manager in May last year – a man with almost 1,000 first-team appearances for Scunthorpe, Luton, Preston, and Burnley.
The 48-year-old, who claimed the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month award for October this week, achieved promotion into the Football League at the first attempt, beating AFC Fylde 3-0 in the National League play-off final last term, and Neville is happy with the progress the club has made under his guidance.
Progress
“Graham has been doing a great job during the 18 months he has been with us because the club has changed dramatically,” said Neville.
