In his first season as manager Macclesfield have stormed to promotion, sealing the Northern Premier League title with six games to spare and piling up 109 points from 42 games, with Savage continuing his punditry work alongside management.
Macclesfield's success led to interest from other clubs – Savage said in March he had received at least one offer to manage at a higher level – but the former Wales international's attachment to the Silkmen has proved decisive.
Smethurst said: 'Absolutely thrilled to be able to keep hold of Robbie despite offers from numerous clubs, the journey continues.'

The new Tuilagi? Sale's Ma'asi-White on following his idol
Premiership semi-final: Leicester Tigers v Sale SharksVenue: Mattioli Woods Welford Road Date: Saturday 7 June Kick-off: 15:30 BSTCoverage: Live commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live Sports Extra, BBC Radio Leicester and BBC Radio Manchester Before Saturday's Premiership semi-final between the two teams, Sale centre Rekeiti Ma'asi-White is keen to clear something true that as an 11-year-old, his uncle gave him a Leicester shirt. But to say he was a Tigers fan isn't quite a young Ma'asi-White was more interested in the number 12 on the back, than the badge on the front."I was a big fan of Manu," he says. "I only supported Leicester because of Manu really."He has the same kind of background – he is of Samoan descent, I am half Tongan-half English,"I aspired to be like him and achieve what did he did. I was in the forwards at that age. Thankfully I progressed!"It wasn't just Tuilagi. Former All Black midfielders Malakai Fekitoa and Ma'a Nonu were also Tuilagi was the example Ma'asi-White had seen closest father Viliami, who represented Tonga at 2003 Rugby World Cup, played with Manu's brother Anitelea at Leeds in the latter stages of his career. The two families bonded."Manu used to come round when we lived in Leeds for a little session together of food and stuff," says Ma'asi-White."I was quite young at the time, and didn't realise who everyone was, I didn't know how cool it was until I was a bit older." When Wasps went bust in 2022, Ma'asi-White and fellow academy prospect Asher Opoku-Fordjour were signed up by Sale. Tuilagi had left Leicester for the north west two years previously."He told me I used to look like a little rat!" remembers Ma'asi-White of their reunion and shared memories of backyard get-togethers more than a decade previously."I learned quite a bit from him though after that."Viliami is still his primary teacher played into his forties, Vili is now coaching, steering Oundle to the fourth tier this though is an impressive side in from his Peterborough home, Viliami will watch footage of every Sale training session. The morning before every game, Rekeiti gets a call with a checklist of things to focus on. After, he will get another, reviewing whether he has hit those targets."It is technical, mental, everything," says Ma'asi-White."He will say, 'there is still more in you, you are not running hard enough, you need to tackle harder.'"And I love that because it pushes me to become a better player." Ma'asi-White's improvement has been steep and 22-year-old, who started the season on loan at Championship side Caldy, only made his first start of the season for Sale in with thumping over the gainline against Toulon, he helped the Sharks to a 33-7 win and, with George Ford and Rob du Preez pulling the strings at 10 and 13, the 12 shirt has been his ever has scored in each of Sale's last four games, showing he can find holes, as well as break down was called into the England senior squad for the first time last his freight-train physicality and deceptively fleet feet do for Leicester on Saturday, comparisons with his old idol Tuilagi and the clamour for his inclusion in England's summer tour to Argentina will only grow. Opposite him at Welford Road will be a familiar face. He and Joe Woodward were England's under-20's centre partnership for a couple of years."He is a very good distributor, good link player, a ball carrier and he has got that kicking game too - a triple threat really," Ma'asi-White says of his former team-mate."I think we worked quite well together, we had some good times."Only one will be celebrating on Saturday and Leicester won at Welford Road last month, but Sale, 10 points up with half an hour to go, were left ruing indiscipline that let the hosts back into that game."There has been a lot of talk about us not being an 80-minutes team," says Ma'asi-White."We let them in the game in that second half so there is a big emphasis on discipline going into this weekend and to try and minimise that penalty count and use the scrum and line out to give us that advantage across the full game."If they do, a Premiership final awaits for for Ma'asi-White, the possibility of facing the Pumas with England will grow."Going down to Pennyhill Park for that two-day camp, it was exciting, to see all these big-time players was special," he says."I went with the idea that I would just give it everything. In the taxi home, I was just spent, I had no energy left."I have to take it step by step and do my best here, but going to Argentina is the plan - that is my target."So far this season, those have worked out just fine.

Van Nistelrooy situation 'baffling'
Leicester City's failure to clarify the future of manager Ruud van Nistelrooy has become increasingly "baffling", according to former Foxes striker Matty East Midlands club had relegation from the Premiers League confirmed on 20 April and the campaign came to an end nearly two weeks just three weeks, Leicester will learn their schedule for the 2025-26 campaign when Championship fixtures are released. A week later and the squad is expected to assemble for preseason training."What a mess it is," Fryatt told BBC East Midlands Today."What is it, six weeks since relegation was confirmed and still they are no further along?"Everyone needs some clarity, the supporters and football club as a whole, because time is ticking."Fryatt, however, does see that financial pressures and the timing of a possible sacking could be behind any have faced a number of profit and sustainability charges in recent years, with the latest – relating to an alleged breach of EFL financial rules for the 2023-24 season, when they were last in the second tier – coming in May."My only assumption would be that it's because of the financial implications that Ruud is still in charge," Fryatt said."Because if he was going to be the manager for next season, you would have thought you would have heard from the club, but there has been nothing, absolutely zero communication, which is baffling to me."

Cheika using 'instinct' to unite title-hunting Tigers
Golf clubs and smashed mirrors, dog tags and Tigers flags. Michael Cheika has used elaborate, and sometimes wacky, tactics to spur his teams on - but the message has always been simple."I just think people think about things too much," the Leicester Tigers head coach told BBC Sport about the method behind his famous use of imagery to motivate players."And often when you think about things, it stops you from doing it."It was before a Super Rugby final that Cheika presented his New South Wales Waratahs players with personally engraved drivers. His message then was to "have a big swing at it".Then when at the helm of the Australia national team, he issued players with dog tags before the 2015 World Cup to unify them as a battalion. It was in that same tournament that he used a sledgehammer to smash a mirror, external in the changing room before the final to show what he physically demanded of his is a tale behind every bit of the story is at Leicester Tigers as they prepare for Saturday's Premiership semi-final against Sale Sharks, he will not tell."That is something for us," said the relaxed Australian with a broad grin, while leaning on a pitchside railing at Mattioli Woods Welford Road in a pair of retro sliders he picked up in the 1980s."All that stuff is designed to get the team aligned and around certain themes we want to push. And we try do that all year."You just go with instincts on those things. There is no science behind that stuff. You try read the room as best you can. That golf club thing was a last-day decision, it wasn't like it was planned."They might start off like fun or jokes or whatever, but then they can turn into something that is serious or something that is meaningful because they symbolise something. "Those moments we share together as a team, across all teams that I have been involved in, are really important. They are the things that hold you together when you are a man down or you are under the pump." Against Bristol Bear at Ashton Gate in April, a match of must-win proportions for a Tigers side that were outside the play-off spots at the time, Cheika came along with one of his less obscure delivered his team talk with a giant Tigers flag on a pole before they faced a Bristol side that had thumped them months earlier – planting their own flag, if you will, at Welford captain Julian Montoya described Cheika as "one of the best coaches in the world" for the masterful way he man manages his details of how the Australian inspires his players is left in the sanctity of the changing what if that message is beamed live on television? "Maybe we want you to see it. The camera is there," the hooker was also skipper of the Argentina side that Cheika guided to the World Cup semi-finals in said it has been an "amazing" experience to play for the 58-year-old for club and country – and in two different languages."He tried to speak Spanish a lot with Argentina and he did pretty well, but now he is full English so he can express himself even better," Montoya added."He is very passionate, and that's what I like and what I've seen in him here."For me, he is Michael and was the same with me at Argentina. But with the international team, everyone is from Argentina and here at the club there is different nationalities and different cultures."He has been here only for one year and it is very difficult to try know the culture of the team, the organisation, and everything in that time, but I think he has done a brilliant job that's not done yet." Cheika made it clear that he moved to Leicester this season with the sole aim of winning the Premiership meeting with Sale – a side they have shared 142 points with across two league games already this season – will be his home ground he will not be the only one looking to leave with a shot of glory in their sights. Decorated club legends Ben Youngs and Dan Cole, as well as former England full-back Mike Brown, are retiring at the end of the season, while captain Montoya and two-time World Cup-winning South Africa fly-half Handre Pollard are leaving in the summer."Finishing has nothing to do with it," Cheika said. "Being part of a team means what happens to the team is for everybody and not for any one individual. I certainly don't feel like that."When you are in a team, playing in a comp like this, and you are the leader as a coach, your ambition and hunger is to get to the top. The only interest for me is for this team to be successful."
