Overview
- Peterborough confirmed Savage as their new manager after Luke Williams left the club following a poor start to the season.
- Savage has left Forest Green Rovers after just over a season in charge and brings a high-profile playing record but limited EFL managerial experience.
- Posh sit 23rd in League One with one win and only four league goals, leaving Savage with an urgent task to stop a slide toward relegation risk.
- His first matches in charge are scheduled in the EFL Trophy against Ipswich U21s and a league trip to Leicester, which will be seen as immediate tests of his approach.
- Owner Darragh MacAnthony’s hands-on style and Peterborough’s recent pattern of short managerial tenures mean Savage will face quick scrutiny over team selection, tactics and any changes to a thin squad.
