Chris Wilder Extends Sheffield United Contract to 2028

Chris Wilder has signed a contract extension to manage Sheffield United until the end of the 2027-28 season, marking his second tenure with the club. Wilder, who previously led the Blades from League One to the Premier League, returned in December 2023 and has since revitalized the team by pushing for promotion to the top flight. The club's new owners, American-based consortium COH Sports, have expressed strong support for Wilder's leadership, recognizing his deep understanding of the club and commitment to its success. Wilder's extension comes amidst Sheffield United's promising position in the Championship, sitting just two points behind leaders Leeds United. This decision is seen as a strategic move to secure Wilder's legacy as one of the club's most successful modern-era managers.
