Forest Green Rovers Have 'No Manager Vacancy' and Won't Replace Robbie Savage
Owner Dale Vince said the club will test a coaching-team-led model and is not speaking to candidates for the job.
- Forest Green Rovers owner Dale Vince confirmed during Saturday's match that the club will operate without a manager, planning to "try something new" following Robbie Savage's departure earlier this month.
- National League club Forest Green has been without a head coach for nearly two weeks since Savage left for League One side Peterborough, leaving the team winless in their last five league games.
- Coaches Josh Bowen, Yan Klukowski, and Jonathan Gould currently oversee first-team duties. Vince believes the trio make "very balanced, rational decisions," noting they know the players and club "inside and out."
- On Saturday, the managerless side suffered a 4-2 defeat to Hartlepool United, extending their winless run to five matches and dropping Forest Green to 16th in the Enterprise National League.
- Vince stated the club is "not in a hurry" to appoint a replacement, with no candidates currently in the frame, intending to trial this structure for at least the next few games or possibly a month.
