Now confirmed Robbie Savage has been speaking to Peterborough United about new manager's position
Forest Green Rovers have confirmed manager Robbie Savage has been speaking to another club, believed to be Peterborough United.
The PT revealed earlier on Monday that Savage was due to be interviewed for the vacant manager’s post at London Road.
And his current club released a statement this afternoon saying: “We confirm that Robbie Savage is in talks with another club, and will not be in charge for tomorrow’s game v Wealdstone.”
Savage was described as a ‘serious’ contender to replace Luke Williams at the Weston Homes Stadium over the weekend, although Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony later pointed out no discussions had been held with any possible candidate at that point.
MacAnthony also said interviews would take place over the next three days. The PT understands several viable contenders are to be interviewed, certainly more than the three a prominent journalist suggested on Sunday afternoon.
Posh intend to take their time over an appointment they have to get right to arrest a shocking run of League One form which stretched to two wins in 23 games with a 1-0 loss at Stockport County on Saturday. Posh don’t play in League One again until a trip to Leicester City on October 10.
Savage has never managed in the EFL. His current side are mid-table in the National League.
Former Wycombe, Oxford and Luton manager Matt Bloomfield is also thought to have an interview lined up.
Posh have been asked for a comment on the latest developments.
