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.'

Conor Coady deals Rangers major transfer setback on eve of Champions League squad announcement
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) RANGERS boss Russell Martin will have to confirm his squad for the Champions League showdown with Panathinaikos on Thursday night. And it's pretty much a given that Conor Coady will NOT be a name on that list. Sign up for the Rangers newsletter Sign up 3 Conor Coady is a player who Rangers would like to sign Credit: Getty 3 Coady was briefly spotted boarding Leicester's plane Credit: INSTAGRAM/@LCFC 3 Eagle-eyed fans had previously spotted him in this clip Credit: INSTAGRAM/@LCFC Rangers face the Greek giants in the first leg of their second qualifying round tie at Ibrox on Tuesday. Before that, Gers head coach Martin has until midnight on Thursday to confirm his squad of players for the two-legged tie. He's added seven new faces to the squad this summer, with Djeidi Gassama becoming the latest of those earlier this week. But one player who Martin has NOT been able to land so far is Conor Coady. The former England international is currently with Leicester City and he emerged as a target for the Gers earlier this summer. The ex-Wolves captain, 32, IS a player Martin would like to have at Ibrox. But on the eve of the Champions League squad confirmation, there's been a development in Coady's situation. Reports had suggested that the defender was hoping to be excluded from the travelling Leicester squad flying out for a pre-season camp in Austria. But eagle-eyed punters spotted that Coady was indeed ON the flight to Vienna when Leicester posted clips of the players boarding the plane. In what was already a race against time to get Coady - or anyone else for that matter - registered by Thursday night, it now seems an impossibility barring a frantic day of activity. Rangers boss Russell Martin opens up on transfer plans as he delivers updates on Dessers and Igamane All is not lost, however. Rangers will be able to register two more players AFTER the squad deadline has passed. Uefa rules state that two late additions can be added up to 24 hours before kick-off, meaning they have until Monday night to get Coady or anyone else included. Rangers have added two central defenders this summer with Manny Fernandez and Nasser Djiga signing-up. But in a major injury blow, the Light Blues could be WITHOUT another key summer acquisition against Panathinaikos. SunSport exclusively revealed that Thelo Aasgaard is a major doubt for the big game. The £3.5million signing will undergo scans after being hurt in the behind closed doors win over Dunfermline. The 23-year old, signed from Luton, would've been a certain starter in the seismic clash. He started in a strong Gers XI against the Pars in a 4-1 win for Russell Martin's men. Aasgaard now faces a big race against time to be ready for action.

I've just had some breaking Conor Coady news confirmed and it's exactly what Rangers want to hear
Our man Keith Jackson kicked off tonight's Hotline Live with some breaking news about Conor Coady Leicester have identified their replacement for Conor Coady – and he could even be in place at Ibrox to be registered before tomorrow night's Champions League deadline. That's the breaking news that kicked off tonight's Hotline Live, and it will be music to Rangers ' ears as they look to get a deal for the defender over the line. Russell Martin has been eyeing a move for experienced defender Coady since the window opened but it's been held up at Leicester's end due to a change in manager. But Marti Cifuentes is in place now and, as he flies out for pre-season with his new squad, there was no sign of Coady in footage or images from training or from the airport. tonight's Hotline Live, it's all pointing in one direction. "Before we came on tonight, it was confirmed to me that Leicester have been in talks with another centre-half who they see as a ready-made replacement for Coady. "An English guy with bags of Premier League experience, who they feel fits the profile that well be left if Conor Coady was to leave. These talks have been ongoing for a couple of days and, I believe, at quite an advanced stage. "So then you tie into that the new boss at Leicester, Marti Cifuentes, has started work today – the club released a bit of footage from the training ground and there was no sign of Coady. "Then minutes before we came on, footage emerged from Midlands airport of the Leicester players getting on board a chartered flight. And without being definitive on it, we couldn't see any sign that Coady was among the players making the trip. "From a Rangers perspective, given the news we broke 24 hours ago – we did say that we would be in a position to give them more of a clue about the situation tonight. And at this time tonight, I think we've established that Rangers have got their eyes on a replacement, and there is no sign of Conor Coady is on Leicester's flight to Austria. "The significance of all of that is Rangers need to register their squad for Panathinaikos tomorrow night. Two players can be added to that 24 hours ahead of kickoff, so there is some leeway to make some late changes to that. "But in an ideal world for Russell Martin, and for Conor Coady, they'd like to be in a position to have his name on that list when it's registered with UEFA tomorrow night. It looks like it's heading in that direction, but it's a story we're very much working on. My phone's still going – we might even get some sort of confirmation during the show..."
