Overview

  • Chris Wilder is expected to be dismissed by new owners COH Sports on June 12 following Sheffield United’s 2-1 Championship play-off final loss to Sunderland.
  • COH Sports completed its takeover of Bramall Lane in December 2024 and aims to install a new manager before pre-season preparations begin.
  • Wilder rejoined the club in December 2023 on a contract running until 2028, but growing disagreements over transfer strategy have strained his relationship with the board.
  • The club has introduced AI-driven scouting under COH Sports, leading to signings such as Ehije Ukaki, Christian Nwachukwu and Jefferson Caceres.
  • Senior officials are convening today to identify Wilder’s replacement as Sheffield United plot their next attempt to return to the Premier League.
