Doncaster Rovers Win over Peterborough United Prompts Posh to Dismiss Boss
The club said its form in League One had not matched expectations after 2 wins in 22 games, and Ryan Harley will lead the team in the interim.
On Saturday, Peterborough United Football Club sacked manager Luke Williams following a 2-0 home defeat to Doncaster Rovers. The board cited the team's form not matching expectations despite significant investment in the squad.
Williams departed after 11 months and 47 competitive matches in charge, with the team sitting 23rd in League One after winning just one of their opening seven league games.
Doncaster manager Grant McCann's side secured the victory with goals from Alfie May and Isaac Hutchinson, while Peterborough failed to register a single shot on target despite 14 attempts.
Assistant manager Ryan Harley will take temporary charge of the first team, beginning with Tuesday's EFL Trophy clash at home to Colchester United on September 22.
Club owner Darragh MacAnthony faces scrutiny over managerial appointments, having previously employed Darren Ferguson four times, as Peterborough seeks a replacement to reverse its league position.
