Cowley named new Huddersfield Town manager

Huddersfield Town have recruited Danny Cowley from Lincoln City to become their new manager.

The former Braintree Town boss moves up to the Championship after guiding Lincoln to promotion from League Two last term, having led them back into the Football League in 2017.

Cowley, 40, will be assisted by brother Nicky and he replaces Jan Siewert following the German's dismissal three matches into the new season.

Sheffield Wednesday, who reportedly considered Cowley before appointing Garry Monk as manager, are the Terriers' opponents at John Smith's Stadium on Sunday.

"Our persistence paid off and when we spoke, there was an obvious chemistry. "They believe in the way we operate as a Club and it affirmed that they would be a superb fit for us. "As such, I’m delighted that they are joining us." #htafc https://t.co/pvOVoR9gvt pic.twitter.com/JL2MCkAeLu
