Huddersfield Town: Darren Moore sacked as manager after just...

Huddersfield have sacked manager Darren Moore after just three wins from 23 matches in charge; the Terriers drew

1-1 at fellow strugglers QPR on Sunday and lie 21st in the Championship, three points above the relegation zone

Darren Moore has been sacked by Huddersfield after just four months in charge.

Huddersfield sit 21st in the Championship, three points above the relegation zone, with Moore leading the club to

just three wins in the league since his appointment.

Moore, 49, who led Sheffield Wednesday to promotion to the Championship last season, took over from Neil

Warnock at the John Smith’s Stadium in September.

The decision comes after Huddersfield, who are winless in their last six matches in all competitions, were denied

victory at fellow strugglers QPR when Kenneth Paal’s late equaliser secured the hosts a valuable point.

Moore said Huddersfield have to keep looking onwards and upwards after they drew 1-1 with

Huddersfield’s statement read: “Darren Moore has been relieved of his duties as Huddersfield Town manager.

“This decision was taken after our Sky Bet Championship draw at Queens Park Rangers on Sunday, which took

Moore’s record as Town manager to three wins, 11 draws and nine defeats in all competitions.”

Huddersfield owner and chairman Kevin Nagle told the club’s website: “We have to make this decision to give us the

best chance of maintaining our Sky Bet Championship status come the end of the season.

“Darren is a fantastic man, and he has worked tirelessly since taking the job back in September. I know I speak for

everyone at the club in wishing him the very best for the future.

“We appointed Darren on the strength of his credentials as a manager, but it is now clear that this has not worked as

we envisaged and hoped.

“There have absolutely been mitigating circumstances, such as the high number of injuries that Darren has had to

cope with, but we have still not seen enough on the pitch in terms of results or the direction of travel in playing style

and performances.

“I believe that our current squad is capable of more, particularly on the back of the work we have carried out in this

transfer window, and we’re quickly moving to identify the right person to lead them through a crucial period of the

season. We hope to make that managerial appointment soon.”

Moore led Sheffield Wednesday to League One play-off final glory last May, with Josh Windass scoring a dramatic

extra-time winner against Barnsley. It capped a remarkable campaign which saw the club rack up 96 points and then

pull off a stunning fightback from 4-0 behind in their play-off semi-final with Peterborough.

However, three weeks after their Wembley triumph, Moore left the club by mutual consent in June. He made a quick

return to management but has now left two clubs in less than a year.
