Huddersfield manager Andre Breitenreiter LEAVES after relegation and just three months in charge
HUDDERSFIELD TOWN have parted ways with head coach André Breitenreiter by mutual consent.
The Terriers were relegated from the Championship last weekend following a 2-0 defeat to Ipswich town.
Huddersfield had spent a decade in the top two divisions of English football.
But following the club’s drop down to League One, officials mutually decided with Breitenreiter that it was time for a change.
Discussing Breitenreiter’s departure, Huddersfield owner and chairman Kevin Nagle said: “I have enjoyed the opportunity to work with André over the past three months and he departs with our best wishes, while contingencies in place have seen our recruitment process for a new Head Coach advance.
“Supporters should rest assured that all decisions made are with the best intentions of our Club in mind, and we look forward to moving on in a positive manner with a new Head Coach dedicated to our ideals and vision, with our plans for pre-season and ambitions for the year ahead unmoved.”
Breitenreiter was appointed Huddersfield boss in February and signed a two-and-a-half year deal upon his arrival.
However, his time at the club has been dramatically cut short.
Before joining the Terriers, the 50-year-old had managed Hoffenheim, Zurich, Hannover 96, Schalke, SC Paderborn and TSV Havelse.
Breitenreiter was the fourth man to take charge of Huddersfield during the 2023-24 Championship campaign.
Neil Warnock started the season in the dugout, but stepped down in September.
Darren Moore then took over, but he was sacked in January and temporarily replaced by caretaker boss Jon Worthington.
And Breitenreiter took over two weeks later on February 15.
