Last updated : 10 October 2008 By Wales Reporter
He replaces the departed Brian Little.

Saunders will continue to work with John Toshack and the Wales set up as well as his nw job at Wrexham.

Saunders said: "I will continue to do both jobs. John Toshack is also a patriotic Welshman and wants me to help Wrexham for the sake of Welsh football."

Saunders added: "I will not rest until I have taken Wrexham back into the Football League.

"People must be wondering why go down to manage at non-league. But Wrexham should not be in non-league, it is a joke and I am determined for the good of Welsh football to get Wrexham back in the Football League.

"Newport County disappeared years ago and that cannot be allowed to happen at Wrexham - this club cannot stay down here for much longer.

"I am a proud and patriotic Welshman and support all of the Welsh clubs and it is important for the country to get Wrexham back into the league.

"Wrexham and the north Wales catchment area have produced some great players like Mickey Thomas and Joey Jones and that conveyer belt must not be allowed to stop.

"I am excited about the challenge and I know I can do it, but I accept I am putting my neck on the line."
