Your support makes all the difference.Huddersfield Town have confirmed the sacking of head coach Danny Cowley.
Cowley guided Huddersfield to safety in the Championship this week with a win over second-placed West Brom, a result which ensured the Terriers’ rivals Leeds United achieved promotion to the Premier League.
Cowley’s brother and assistant coach Nicky has also been dismissed, the club confirmed.
A statement from Huddersfield chairman Phil Hodgkinson read: “I would like to place my thanks on record to Danny and Nicky for their hard work and dedication towards securing the Club’s place in the Sky Bet Championship for next season.
“That was the clear priority when they were appointed in September and we are very grateful that has been achieved.
“We all wish Danny and Nicky all the best for the future and they leave with my best wishes in their future endeavours.
“However, we have made this decision in the belief that, in the long term, it is in the best interests of the Club as we move forward.
“We have a different vision for the way we operate the Club, and how our ambitions can be achieved.”
Huddersfield also said they are not seeking applications for the now-vacant positions.
