Sheffield United has announced the departure of Chris Wilder, who is replaced by Ruben Selles. Rejoining in December 2023, Wilder previously led the club to the Premier League, but his recent spell saw the team relegated and narrowly missing promotion. United suffered a play-off defeat at Wembley against Sunderland, leading to his dismissal. Wilder's win percentage dropped compared to his earlier term, indicating a decline in performance. In his farewell statement, he expressed gratitude towards club executives for the opportunity given during his time as manager.
It is with great regret that my time at Sheffield United has come to an end. I'd like to thank Stephen Bettis and Prince Abdullah for bringing me back to the club and giving me the opportunity to rebuild the team and take this great club forward.
Wilder departs the South Yorkshire outfit with a win percentage of 43.59 and 1.47 points per campaign, compared to 46.70 and 1.61 from his first spell.
