Peterborough announced Ferguson's replacement on the 26th (local time) after losing 1-2 to Blackpool in the home game of EFL League One (third division) in the 2025-2026 season at London Road in London. Peterborough remained at 10 points (3 wins, 1 draw and 9 losses) and failed to escape the bottom (24th) due to the defeat. In League One, the bottom four of the 24 teams, 21st to 24th, will be automatically demoted to League Two (fourth division).
Peterborough Chairman Dara McAnthony said in an official statement: "After today's game, I have decided to terminate my contract with Ferguson. I think it's not a light decision, it's the right decision for the football club. Ferguson was the greatest manager in the history of our club. I will always consider him a member of my family and club. I will cherish and remember the glorious moments forever."
Ferguson grew up with the Manchester United youth team led by his father and played for the professional team from 1990 to 1994. He played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Spartan Rotterdam, Wrexham and Peterborough before taking off his football boots in 2008.
Ferguson, who immediately took the helm of Peterborough after retirement, led the team in the fourth division to promotion to back-to-back in the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 seasons. Ferguson, who was replaced in November 2009, was in charge of the team two more times, from January 2011 to February 2015, and from January 2019 to February 2022. I put the 2011 and 2021 teams in the second division.
In 2014, 2024, and 2025, he won the EFL Trophy on three occasions. England international striker Ivan Toney (Al Ahli) has grown into a Premier League player through Ferguson's hands. Ferguson, who was unemployed for about a year after leaving the team in 2022, returned to Peterborough in January 2023 and led the team for two years and nine months. In the 2023-2024 season, he advanced to the playoffs by finishing fourth in League One, but failed to get promoted. In the 2024-2025 season, he managed to finish 18th after a battle to stay.
Ferguson was in his mid-50s while playing the second and third parts. Is it really impossible to surpass his father's stronghold.
