Forest Green to operate without manager after Savage exit

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 12 Oct, 11:42 · Archive

Forest Green Rovers will not immediately replace Robbie Savage, who left for Peterborough in October, instead operating under a trio of coaches.

Forest Green Rovers will not appoint a new manager following Robbie Savage's departure to League One side Peterborough in early October. Owner Dale Vince said the club intends to 'try something new' with coaches Josh Bowen, Yan Klukowski and Jonathan Gould overseeing the team. The clubs have also disputed how Savage's appointment came about: Vince claims Peterborough made an illegal approach after he initially refused them permission to speak to his manager, whilst Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony denies this, saying the process was 'correct and proper'.
