Robbie Savage takes head coach job at Macclesfield, the club he part-owns
Savage gets job after being ‘offered senior role elsewhere’Seventh-tier club say he will ‘judged solely on results’
Robbie Savage has been appointed as the head coach of Macclesfield FC. The former Wales midfielder was director of football at the phoenix club, as well as a shareholder, but after another club approached him he decided to take control of the first team.
Savage will be assisted by Peter Band while his former Leicester teammate Emile Heskey has been appointed in a “position-specific role as and when required”. Savage moving into the dugout means Michael Clegg, who was appointed as manager in February, has left the club.
