Huddersfield confirm Siewert replacement

 

Huddersfield on Monday confirmed the appointment of Danny Cowley as new manager. 

 

Jan Siewert was relieved of his duties as Terriers boss last month having won just one league game during his time in charge. 

 

Cowley, who joins from Lincoln as does brother Nicky, will take charge of the side for the welcome of Sheffield Wednesday after the international break. 

 

“Huddersfield Town are delighted to confirm the appointment of Danny Cowley as the Club’s new Manager,” a statement read on the club’s official website. 

 

“Danny will be joined at Huddersfield Town by his brother and Assistant Manager Nicky. 

 

“The duo were identified by Chairman Phil Hodgkinson and Head of Football Operations David Webb as the Club’s first choice for this appointment after an extensive and detailed search.”

Cowley has a tough task on his hands if he is to guide Huddersfield to safety this season. 

 

The Terriers, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, sit in the relegation zone with just one point to their name from the opening six matches of the campaign and are four points from safety.
