Savage joined Forest Green Rovers following a highly successful tenure at Macclesfield FC, the seventh-tier phoenix club established after Macclesfield Town was wound up in 2020. During his time with the Silkmen, he guided the club to promotion to the National League North, scoring 109 goals and securing 109 points.
Upon his arrival in Gloucestershire in July 2025, he led Forest Green to the play-offs, though the campaign ultimately ended in a defeat to Boreham Wood. However, it proved to be his only full season in charge, as Savage departed the club on October 2nd with the team sitting in 13th place after 11 matches.
At the time, club owner Vince initially refused Peterborough United permission to speak with Savage, but relented after claiming the club approached him directly. “Peterborough themselves have covered themselves in no glory here. They came to us and said, ‘We would like to speak to your manager,'” Vince stated to BBC Radio Gloucestershire ten days after the appointment. “We said no, and so they spoke to him, and then he came to us and said, ‘I hear Peterborough want to speak to me.’ So, that’s an illegal approach.”
In response, Peterborough United chairman Darren MacAnthony refuted the allegations, asserting on X that the process of appointing the new manager was “100% correct and proper, following all the rules.”
Since joining Peterborough, Savage’s managerial record stands at two wins, two draws, and two losses across all competitions.

- Kohli and Sharma Double with Net Figures Ahead of New Zealand ODI Series Eden Park in Auckland was the setting on October 30 as two of India’s most seasoned ODI campaigners, Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, went through a sharp net session ahead of the five-match series against New Zealand that opens on November 4. India’s cricket board shared footage from the session, accompanying it with a caption that read: “They’re back.” The bilateral contest carries weight beyond the result. Every ODI India play now feeds directly into their preparation for the 2027 ODI World Cup, making squad selection and individual form closely watched. Both Rohit and Kohli are active only in the 50-over format at the international level, having stepped away from Tests and T20 Internationals, respectively. How has Virat Kohli been performing in ODIs heading into this series? Kohli’s most recent ODI assignment before landing in New Zealand was a three-match series against West Indies, where he put together 168 runs across three innings. The highlight came in the opening fixture, where he walked in with India chasing 296 and finished unbeaten on 139 from 88 deliveries, a knock that underlined his continued authority in run-chases. That kind of output keeps him at the centre of India’s ODI batting plans. On the all-time ODI run-scoring list, Kohli sits second with 15,109 runs, a tally built across 55 centuries. Both figures remain subject to editor verification before publication. What does Rohit Sharma’s 2026 ODI record look like ahead of the New Zealand series? Meanwhile, Rohit has carried strong form through the calendar year. Across 12 ODI innings in 2026, he has put together 604 runs, averaging 50.33 and scoring at a strike rate of 104.67, with a highest score of 138 and two centuries alongside two half-centuries. His numbers against West Indies in the preceding series were particularly striking. Over three matches, Rohit accumulated 225 runs at an average of 75.00 and a strike rate of 115, anchoring the innings with a best of 101 not out that included one century and one fifty. His overall ODI career tally stands at 12,120 runs from 35 centuries, though both figures are flagged for editor verification. With the 2027 ODI World Cup approaching, the New Zealand series gives both senior batters a timely platform to sharpen their 50-over game at the highest level.
