Next Huddersfield Town manager: Former Sheffield United and Barnsley FC bosses and ex-Juventus man lead race as Wayne Rooney emerges
Huddersfield Town’s manager search has entered a third week as the Terriers look for their third manager of the Championship season.
Jon Worthington has been holding the fort admirably since Darren Moore was dismissed following the concession of a stoppage-time equaliser at QPR two weeks ago.
Club favourite Worthington oversaw a thumping 4-0 win over relegation rivals Sheffield Wednesday in his first game in charge on Saturday February 3, and then a week later, his Terriers were 2-0 up at promotion-chasing Southampton before the heavily-resourced Saints swept to a 5-3 win in the second half.
Huddersfield are next in action on Wednesday night when Sunderland come to the John Smith’s Stadium.
The work Worthington has done so far has moved him up to third favourite with most bookies to be named the next manager of Huddersfield Town. He is priced at 10/1 with some bookmakers.
The favourite though remains Michael Duff, the former Barnsley manager who led the Reds to last year’s League One play-off final before moving on to Swansea City in the Championship, where he was dismissed after less then six months. Duff is out of work and priced as the 4/6 favourite
