Peterborough United Sack Manager Darren Ferguson After Drop to League One Bottom

Peterborough United has sacked manager Darren Ferguson following a 2-1 home defeat to Blackpool, which left the team bottom of League One. Ferguson, who was in his fourth spell managing the club, has been the most successful manager in Peterborough's history with four promotions and two EFL Trophy wins, but the team struggled this season with only three wins in 13 games. Chairman Darragh MacAnthony described the decision as difficult but necessary for the club's future, expressing deep respect and gratitude for Ferguson's contributions and wishing him well. The timing of the departure allows for a new manager to take charge with some time before the next League One fixture, providing a chance to lift the team out of relegation danger. Despite the tough period, the club aims to enter a new phase of growth on and off the pitch. The sacking marks the end of Ferguson's long-standing and impactful tenure at Peterborough, a move met with mixed emotions from fans and club officials alike.
