Sheffield United Reappoint Chris Wilder, Restructure Coaching Staff

Sheffield United have reappointed Chris Wilder as their manager for the third time after a poor start to their 2025/26 Championship campaign that saw the dismissal of Ruben Selles. Wilder's return is part of the club's effort to stabilize the team, which is currently at the bottom of the table, and he has already begun restructuring his coaching staff by promoting former EFL winger Gary McSheffrey to the first team. Broadcaster Sir David Attenborough humorously praised the club's decision as an example of managerial sustainability, likening Wilder's return to natural cycles in the environment. Former player and Sky Sports presenter David Prutton supported the reappointment, emphasizing Wilder's strong connection with the club and the city, and noting that Wilder has 'unfinished business' at Sheffield United, particularly in achieving promotion back to the Premier League. Wilder himself stated that he would not have returned to any other club, highlighting his commitment to Sheffield United. The club has acknowledged the need for immediate improvement to change the current negative atmosphere and start accumulating points quickly.
