Peterborough United to interview managerial candidates in the next few days
Peterborough United will be interviewing managerial candidates over the next three days.
Chairman Darragh MacAnthony has taken to X to tell fans he has not spoken to any candidates for the role as of yet and that a shortlist of managers both in and out of work has been drawn up ahead of an interview process.
Both Forest Green boss Robbie Savage and former Wycombe manager Matt Bloomfield have been asked publicly about their interest in the role.
In a message to fans, MacAnthony also stated the new boss would be boosted by the return from injury of a number of players following the international break.
Posh’s game next Saturday, which was due to be against Notts County, has been postponed. They return to League One action on Saturday, October 10 at Leicester City.
Currently Brandon Khela, Matt Garbett, Tom O’Connor, Declan Frith, Sam Hughes and Rio Adebesi are on the sidelines.
MacAnthony said: “Interviews start this week. Do not believe anything in the press r.e. approaches for people or people 'turning job down' as I have not had a conversation with one person as of yet and we have not offered the job to anybody.
“We have a short list of potential viable candidates currently in work and out of work that we would like to interview for the position.
"The board will speak to them all in the coming three days in person, if permissions are granted, and once due diligence is finished on all of them. This process will be a rigorous one as it is important to get it right. It is a wonderful opportunity for the right candidate to be manager of this club we all love.
“We have a talented group of players (regardless of results in the league so far) and the majority of our injured players will be available/back in full training after the international break. This squad will rise again and start winning league football games.
“The ownership's aim is to return to competing at the top end of League one. It’s what we all want and everybody connected to the club will work 24/7 to ensure this happens.
“For now patience is needed for a little while longer.”
