Robbie Savage named Forest Green Rovers manager

Forest Green Rovers have announced that Robbie Savage is the club's new manager.

FGR finished third in the 2024/25 National League with a total of 83 points from 46 games but were defeated in the play-off semi-final by Southend United on penalties to keep them in the fifth tier for another season.

Savage most recently managed Macclesfield and helped them to promotion from the National League North and has now taken over at Forest Green Rovers, the team where his son Charlie Savage once spent a spell on loan.

"I feel I have an opportunity to develop a squad to create an attacking brand of football – an aggressive form of football to try and get Forest Green back into the EFL," Savage said on his appointment.

"I want a fast, exciting style but the most important thing is to win games."
