Huddersfield Town owner Dean Hoyle on Wagner's departure: "I’d like to begin by thanking David for all he has achieved at Huddersfield Town over the last three-and-a-half years. Under his stewardship, we’ve achieved things on the football pitch that surpass anything in modern memory, and that have gone well beyond my wildest expectations as Chairman and as a fan. "Under David’s management, we took this Club to the highest position it has held in almost 50 years and created memories that will last forever. "His achievements will rightly put him up there in Huddersfield Town history alongside great names like Herbert Chapman and Mick Buxton; legendary managers who changed the face of this Club. "As I had said previously, I had no intention of sacking David this season. Subsequently David – being the great man he is – came to us and made it clear that he needs a break from the rigours of football management. "We discussed making that change immediately, but he also made it clear that he would give his all for the rest of this season before departing in the summer if we preferred. After a long discussion we all felt that David staying at the Club until the end of the season was best, but we’ve kept discussions open and we all now feel that the time is right to part ways. "I know the term ‘mutual consent’ is often a byword for the manager being sacked in professional football, but this is a truly joint decision. David has a real, genuine love for this Club and, like me, his foremost concern in our talks has been to establish what is best for Huddersfield Town. "I cannot thank David enough for what he has achieved. Along with his family, he will always be a friend to me and Huddersfield Town."
Seems like a genuine fellow. Hope he takes a step back and recharges his batteries. Did a fantastic job there, but it caught up with them this term.
I think Wagner is a good manager. He will get another job when he wants one. Would be quite a good fit at Leicester.
Would do a good job at Everton too, Or Bornemouth when Howe leaves no doubt. But it wouldn't surprise me if he got a job at RB Leipzeg or somewhere like that.
Wagner was always going to go at the end of the season, and their season was over a few weeks ago. I predict this almost every year, but Huddersfield really could do a double relegation to League 1.
Well that was inevitable. Unfortunately for whoever the new man is, Huddersfield have just spent the last month using up fixtures which could have saved them. They have no chance now. If Puel can hang in there until the end of the season, it's not inconceivable that we won't see another managerial change in the PL before the end now.
