The most successful manager in Peterborough United history has been linked with a job in League Two
The most successful manager in Peterborough United’s history has been lined up to take over at League Two Salford City.
Salford surprisingly sacked former MK Dons boss Karl Robinson after he led them to a fourth-place finish in the fourth tier last season. Salford lost the play-off final 3-0 to Notts County at Wembley.
Ferguson, the son of legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, has obvious links to Salford who are part-owned by Old Trafford stars Sir David Beckham and Gary Neville. Ferguson junior is a former United player.
Ferguson has won promotion twice from League Two with Posh in 2007-08 and with Doncaster Rovers in 2016-17. His fourth-spell at Posh ended with the sack after a home defeat to Blackpool last October. Ferguson was linked with the vacant Leicester City job earlier in the summer.
Salford have spent the last 7 seasons in League Two. They have had 5 managers in that time. Robinson, Gary Bowyer, Neil Wood, Graham Alexander and Richie Wellens.
