Wagner leaves Huddersfield

Huddersfield Town and David Wagner have parted company by mutual consent with the Terriers bottom of the Premier League.

Wagner was appointed as manager of Huddersfield back in November 2015, with the club struggling in the Championship.

However, Wagner soon integrated his German style in West Yorkshire and eventually secured promotion to the Premier League, against all odds.

Wagner then managed Huddersfield in their first ever Premier League campaign, with the Terriers staying in the division following a fantastic season.

But Wagner's side have gone on a nine-game winless run in the Premier League this season, and the club sit rock-bottom with just 11 points from 22 matches.

Huddersfield chairman Dean Hoyle revealed he had no intention of sacking the manager this season.

"I had no intention of sacking David this season," the Terriers' chairman said. "Subsequently David - being the great man he is - came to us and made it clear he needs a break from the rigours of football management.

"We discussed making that change immediately; but he also made it clear that he would give his all for the rest of the season before departing in the summer if we preferred.

"After a long discussion, we all felt that David staying at the club until the end of the season was best, but we've kept discussions open and we all now feel that the time is right to part ways."
