Robbie Savage Appointed Forest Green Rovers Manager After Play-Off Failure

News summary

Robbie Savage has been appointed as the new manager of National League club Forest Green Rovers, replacing Steve Cotterill who was dismissed after the team failed to secure promotion through the play-offs. Savage, a former Wales international and ex-player for clubs including Leicester City and Blackburn Rovers, previously managed Macclesfield FC, leading them to promotion into the National League North with a record-breaking season. Despite signing a new two-year contract with Macclesfield recently, Savage chose to take on the Forest Green role, aiming to implement an attacking and aggressive style of football to return the club to the English Football League. His strong connection with Forest Green's director of football, Mark Bowen, a former Wales teammate, was influential in the appointment. Savage acknowledged the challenge of winning over fans due to his limited managerial experience but expressed confidence in his tools and staff to achieve promotion. He begins immediate preparations with the squad, aiming to build on Forest Green's recent third-place finish and push for success in the coming seasons.
