Shock news from Peterborough Sports who have made a managerial change
There was a dramatic development at Peterborough Sports on Tuesday night as Michael Gash was re-appointed as first-team manager.
Gash and his then co-boss Luke Steele were dismissed by Sports chairman Tim Woodward in September after a poor start to the 2025-26 National League North season.
Experienced manager Phil Brown took over, but the former Premier League boss has now moved upstairs into a director of football role. Sports are currently in the relegation zone with 11 games to go having not won in seven matches.
Sports issued a statement this evening. It read: ‘We wish to announce that this evening Michael Gash has been appointed first team manager. Phil Brown will remain at the club in the role of Director of Football, supporting Michael and the whole team.”
Woodward added: "I would like to personally thank Phil for his commitment and contribution in his time as manager in this extremely hard season.
"Charlie Tonks and all the backroom staff will remain at the club and support Michael going forward. We find ourselves in a precarious position with 11 games to go, but I know I can rely on everyone's full support for Gashy and the whole team in what will be 11 cup finals to maintain our position in the National League North."
Sports start a crucial month with a home game against Southport on Saturday (March 7).
