Liam Manning: Huddersfield Town boss leaves club after period of compassionate leave

Huddersfield Town boss Liam Manning has left the club by mutual consent, two months after taking compassionate leave.

Manning stepped back from his role in March, with the League One side saying in a statement at the time that the decision was made after he “made the club aware of ongoing personal matters relating to the tragic passing of his newborn son Theo in October 2024”.

“I want to pay huge tribute to Liam today,” chairman Kevin Nagle told the club website.

“Stepping away from this role is the correct decision for him and his family, and that comes before absolutely everything else.”
