Robbie Savage Denies Reports Linking Him To Vacant Peterborough United Manager Role
Anonymous
Peterborough United are searching for a manager after sacking Luke Williams, but the club has denied reports that its shortlist is down to three, saying further interviews are planned after receiving more than 80 applications. Forest Green Rovers manager Robbie Savage has emerged as a reported contender, though Peterborough has not confirmed making contact. Savage said his focus remains on Forest Green and declined to say whether he had been approached. TalkSPORT presenter and Peterborough supporter Adrian Durham said the links appeared credible and suggested Savage could suit the club’s desire for an attacking style, while noting the relationship with chairman Darragh MacAnthony could be a factor.

Savage’s name joined other possible replacements, including Karl Robinson, Dave Challinor and Matt Bloomfield; Peterborough would need to negotiate his departure from Forest Green.
