Peterborough is at the bottom of the league, having secured only three victories in the 13 matches they have played this season.
A 2-1 loss to Blackpool, who had previously occupied the last position in the table, led to the end of Ferguson’s fourth tenure with the club.
Club officials are now in advanced negotiations to appoint Williams as their new head coach, as reported by talkSPORT .
The 44-year-old last managed Swansea before his dismissal in February of this year.
During his time away from management, Williams was spotted working.
He was photographed wearing a high-visibility jacket in June.
An injury at age 19 hindered Williams from achieving a successful playing career.
However, he transitioned into coaching and became a manager for the first time in 2015 with Swindon, after serving as an assistant manager there for two years.
He spent two years at Swindon before moving to Notts County in 2022 and then to Swansea in 2024.
Williams will face significant challenges at London Road, particularly in light of the praise Ferguson received from owner Darragh MacAnthony.
MacAnthony issued a statement following the dismissal, referring to Ferguson as the “greatest manager in the club’s history.”
Peterborough's next match is against Cardiff in the first round on November 1.
