Sheffield United Dismiss Rubén Sellés After Five Straight League Defeats

The board said a successor will be named in due course, with multiple reports linking talks with former boss Chris Wilder.

Overview

  • The club confirmed the sacking on September 14 following Friday’s 5-0 defeat at Ipswich Town.
  • A statement thanked Sellés and said the timing followed a review of performances and supporter sentiment.
  • United are bottom after losing their first five Championship matches, scoring once, and they also exited the Carabao Cup.
  • Away fans chanted for Sellés to go during the loss, which included a Jaden Philogene hat-trick and a George Hirst goal through goalkeeper Michael Cooper’s legs.
  • Reports say COH Sports representatives attended the game, and BBC local reporting described Wilder’s possible return as more than a rumour.
