Peterborough United appoint Robbie Savage as their new manager, replacing Luke Williams. The club confirm Savage has signed a long-term contract as Peterborough compete in League One and sit second from bottom.
Savage leaves his role as manager of National League club Forest Green Rovers, where he has been in charge for just over a season. Multiple outlets report the move as Savage stepping into his first Football League managerial position since retiring as a player in 2011. Peterborough have already acted after sacking Williams last month.
Outlets also highlight Savage’s own reaction to the appointment. He frames the job as an opportunity to prove himself and states he is excited by the chance to lead the club, particularly given Peterborough’s struggles in the league. Reports agree on the basic timeline: Williams is dismissed, Savage departs Forest Green, and Peterborough announce his appointment and contract.
