Robbie Savage has been appointed as the new manager of Peterborough United, who are currently positioned second from bottom in League One. Savage departs from his previous role at National League club Forest Green Rovers to take on a long-term contract with Peterborough, following the dismissal of former manager Luke Williams last month.

Peterborough United have been struggling this season, prompting the club to seek new leadership in hopes of reversing their fortunes. Savage expressed enthusiasm about the opportunity, emphasizing his desire to be judged based on the team’s on-field performance rather than preconceived opinions. “Everyone’s entitled to their opinion but all I want is a chance,” he said, highlighting his passion and commitment to guiding the squad.

The new manager underscored his intention to encourage an energetic and attacking style of play, focusing on the young talent within the team. Savage is set to lead Peterborough for the first time in their upcoming EFL Trophy group-stage match against Ipswich Town’s under-21 side on Tuesday. The club will be looking to improve their position in the league under his guidance in the coming months.
