Lowly Peterborough sack manager Williams
Peterborough United sack manager Luke Williams after Saturday's defeat at home by Doncaster leaves them second from bottom in League One.
Peterborough United have dismissed manager Luke Williams following their 3-3 draw with Barnsley, which resulted in them finishing second from bottom in League One. Williams' tenure lasted less than 11 months, during which he led the team into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 2009. The loss to Doncaster Rovers, their third in a five-game winless run, left them just one point above Wigan Athletic at the bottom of the table.
Despite the poor form, Williams managed to guide Peterborough to an 18th-place finish under his leadership. The former Swansea City and Notts County boss was brought in to replace Darren Ferguson, who was in his fourth spell with the club, after the Posh were at the bottom of the table in October 2025.
