Robbie Savage's tenure at Forest Green Rovers has ended in a legal dispute after the club launched action against Peterborough over his departure. Savage joined Forest Green in July 2025 following a successful spell at Macclesfield FC, the phoenix club formed after Macclesfield Town was wound up in 2020. With the Silkmen he secured promotion to National League North, amassing 109 goals and 109 points.\n\nIn his only full season at the Gloucestershire club, Savage guided Forest Green to the play-offs, where they lost to Boreham Wood.
He left on 2 October with the team 13th after 11 matches. Owner Vince claimed Peterborough made an illegal approach, stating they were initially refused permission but later spoke to Savage directly.\n\nPeterborough chairman Darren Mac Anthony denied wrongdoing on X, calling the appointment process "100% correct and proper". Since taking charge at Peterborough, Savage has recorded two wins, two draws and two losses in all competitions.
