Huddersfield Sack Manager Siewert After Three Games

Huddersfield Sack Manager Siewert After Three Games

Huddersfield Town have dismissed manager Jan Siewert just three games into the new Championship season.

Siewert was appointed as a replacement for David Wagner in January but he could not prevent their relegation from the Premier League as they finished bottom of the pile.

Huddersfield Town have taken just a point from their three Championship games so far and Friday night’s 2-1 home loss to Fulham proved to be Siewert’s last game in charge.

In all, the 36-year-old German managed 19 games but won just once; a 1-0 victory over Wolves in February and suffered 15 defeats.

On Saturday, Terriers chairman Phil Hodgkinson said: "Last night's decision was not one that I nor the board took lightly, but I believe it is one that had to be made.

"Jan walked into a very difficult situation in January; something that we were all aware and mindful of. However, I have seen no evidence of the impact on our performances that I was expecting following a full pre-season.

"Jan is a fantastic man and he's worked tirelessly for this club during his time here, but unfortunately it has not worked. I believe he is a good coach and I sincerely hope he will be successful in the future.

"I believe our players are better than we have seen so far this season. We will work to appoint a new head coach who can get the best from them and bring an identity back to our performances."

First team coach Mark Hudson has been placed in temporary charge until a new manager is hired.
