Huddersfield Town Sack Lee Grant After Burton Defeat

Club owner Kevin Nagle cited unmet objectives, with sporting director Chris Markham leading the search for a successor.

Overview

  • The decision came less than five hours after a 3-1 loss at Burton Albion, ending Grant’s eight-month tenure.
  • Huddersfield sit sixth in League One and are reported to be 10 points off the automatic places after 27 games.
  • The club pointed to just three wins in the last 12 league fixtures as form declined following a strong start.
  • Markham will oversee the recruitment process for a new head coach, according to the club statement.
  • Early reports link Liam Manning as the frontrunner with Chris Hogg as his assistant, though no appointment has been made.
