Premier League club Huddersfield Town have appointed Jan Siewert to succeed David Wagner as manager.
Siewert, 36, has left his position as coach of Borussia Dortmund’s second team to join the Terriers on a deal until summer 2021.
Wagner, who held the same position at Dortmund before joining Huddersfield in 2015, left the club by mutual consent on 14 January.
Huddersfield are bottom of the Premier League on 11 points – 10 adrift of safety – with 15 games remaining.
Siewert’s first game in charge will be at home to Everton on 29 January.
The club announced the appointment on Twitter with a video of a Manchester City fan from Wakefield, who was mistaken by TV for Siewert during Sunday’s game at the John Smith’s Stadium, taking a phone call in the manager’s office.
“Not now, Martin from Wakefield,” says the German, adding: “Hi, I am Jan. I am really happy to be the new head coach of Huddersfield Town.”
Mark Hudson took temporary charge for Sunday’s defeat by Manchester City.
