Peterborough United Appoint Robbie Savage as Manager

Peterborough United have appointed former Forest Green Rovers boss Robbie Savage as their new manager on a long-term contract. The 51-year-old replaces Luke Williams, who was sacked in September with the club sitting 23rd in League One.

Savage will be assisted by caretaker boss Ryan Harley. His first match in charge is scheduled for 6 October against Ipswich Town Under-21s in the Jersey Mike's Trophy. Chairman Darragh MacAnthony stated the board was impressed by Savage's hunger to address the team's current struggles and restore confidence to the squad.

Editor's note: The brief misses the specific start date of the manager's tenure and omits the crucial detail that this is the club's first appointment of a non-league manager to an EFL role. It also incorrectly states he was sacked in September; the source says he was sacked on 19 September.
