Official news from English League One Peterborough United is that the club has sacked Darren Ferguson, the son of Sir Alex Ferguson.
The 53-year-old Darren Ferguson will coach Peterborough United for the fifth time in January 2023. This season, he led the team to the bottom of English League One with 3 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses. The team lost 1-2 to Blackpool in this round. The club announced the dismissal of Darren Ferguson after the game.
Peterborough United chairman Darragh McAnthony said: "My decision to terminate Darren Ferguson's contract after today's game was not taken lightly, but I think it is the right decision for the club.
For me, he is the greatest in the history of the club. A coach who I will always consider as part of my family and part of the club family, there are too many wonderful moments to list and these are historic moments that I will always cherish and remember
Yes, we have had our share of downs and things have not always gone as planned, but he has brought this home. The club is managed like a family. I am very sad that he is no longer our head coach and I will miss our daily conversations about life and football and I sincerely wish him and his incredibly supportive family always love and respect him and wish him all the best for the future.
This season is full of challenges for us in all aspects. It is time to start over and enter a new stage of growth in all aspects on and off the court. Thank you to all the wonderful fans who have been with us in good times and bad. Today is another tough day, but starting on Monday we will begin to heal and move forward. Goodbye, legend, thank you!
