Town confirmed earlier this month that Liam Manning would not be returning to his role as head coach
Huddersfield Town are “set to confirm” the appointment of Martin Drury as permanent manager, according to Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke.
The transfer correspondent has claimed that the interim boss is set to take the reins following his interim stint in charge, with Jon Stead remaining as his assistant.
The pair presided over the final seven games of the League One campaign after Liam Manning was granted compassionate leave, with Town winning two, drawing four and losing one of those matches.
The duo picked up four points from their first two fixtures against Reading and Leyton Orient over Easter, but Town then conceded three late levellers against Wycombe Wanderers, Cardiff City and Bolton Wanderers, as their play-off hopes came to an end. The Terriers rounded off their season with a convincing defeat to Mansfield Town and a resounding win at AFC Wimbledon.
Town confirmed earlier this month that Manning would not be returning to his role as head coach, with O’Rourke now reporting that the club are set to appoint Drury as his permanent successor.
The transfer correspondent posted on X on Monday: “Huddersfield are set to confirm Martin Drury as permanent manager with Jon Stead as his assistant after impressing in interim charge at the back end of last season.”
The Terriers are beginning to gear up for a third season in League One, having finished ninth in the division last term. Town ended the campaign with 67 points from 46 matches played, eight points adrift of the top six.
