Forest Green Rovers have initiated legal proceedings regarding the approach made for Robbie Savage, who was appointed as Peterborough United manager on October 2.
The Gloucestershire club confirmed the action on Friday, though specific details of the complaint have not been disclosed. Savage, a former Wales international midfielder, left his role at Forest Green to take charge at London Road.
Peterborough announced the 49-year-old's appointment earlier this month, with the club sitting in the League One promotion places at the time. Forest Green, who compete in League Two, have not commented further on the nature of the legal challenge.
The dispute highlights the complexities surrounding managerial moves between English Football League clubs, particularly when compensation and contractual obligations are contested.
