What happened. Peterborough United sacked manager Luke Williams after Saturday's home defeat by Doncaster Rovers left the club second from bottom in League One. The loss was their third in a winless five-game league run, leaving them just one point above Wigan Athletic at the foot of the table.

Williams lasted less than 11 months in the job after replacing Darren Ferguson in October 2025.
He guided Peterborough to the fourth round of the Carabao Cup for the first time since 2009.
Peterborough recovered to finish 18th last season under Williams, but a slow start this term cost him his job.

Peterborough are second from bottom in League One and now need a new manager to turn their season around.
