Robbie Savage is in his second full campaign as a manager, having guided Macclesfield to promotion from the Northern Premier League in 2024-25

Robbie Savage says he wishes he had turned down Strictly Come Dancing until after his coaching career - to avoid being labelled "another celebrity manager".

The Forest Green Rovers boss is eyeing a first appearance in the FA Cup first round as a head coach when his side visit sixth-tier Worthing on Monday (19:30 BST).

Former Wales midfielder Savage, who featured on the hit BBC show in 2011, shortly after ending his playing career, has guided Rovers to second in the National League.

Appointed in July after success in his first managerial role at Macclesfield, Savage remains best known for his media profile and punditry - and will be back in the spotlight for the final match of the fourth qualifying round.
