Neil Warnock has come out of retirement and made a shock return to management at Huddersfield. The 74-year-old, whose last job was at Middlesbrough, walked away from the game last April, but has been lured back in by the prospect of keeping Huddersfield in the Championship. Warnock will take charge on Thursday after returning from a holiday in the United States.
In 2021, Warnock broke the 1,601-game record for most matches managed in English professional football. He has signed a deal until the end of the season, similar to the one he agreed at Rotherham in 2016, when he kept the club in the second tier. Huddersfield, who host Stoke on Wednesday, are 23rd in the Championship, a point from safety. The interim manager, Narcis Pelach, will take charge of Wednesday’s game.
