Chris Wilder Returns to Lead Sheffield United for a Third Term

After being relegated from the Premier League, Chris Wilder has left Sheffield United once more. Now in the Championship, the club took a risk with an unexpected coach. However, this decision did not pay off, leading them to bring back a familiar face.

Details: The 57-year-old English manager has returned for his third term with the Blades after the firing of Spanish coach Rubén Sellés. Sellés lost all six matches while in charge, with an overall score of 2-14, which led to a quick managerial change.

Wilder returns to Bramall Lane for a third time, having previously managed the team from 2016 to 2021 and then again from 2023 to 2025.

Reminder: Reports suggested that Wilder parted ways with Sheffield United at the end of the 2024-2025 season over disagreements regarding the club’s transfer policy, which contributed to Sellés’ hiring. The turning point was a heavy 0-5 loss to Ipswich Town.
