Chris Wilder has returned for a third spell as Sheffield United manager. He stepped in just days after Ruben Selles was sacked following a nightmare start to the Championship season.
The Blades were thrashed 5-0 at Ipswich Town on Friday night, leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table with zero points. That defeat sealed Selles’ fate, with supporters voicing relief at his exit after just five matches in charge.
For Wilder, the return is both personal and professional. A lifelong Blades supporter, he has already overseen two promotions during previous stints and now faces the challenge of reviving a team in crisis. His last spell ended in a play-off final defeat to Sunderland, who have since established themselves in the Premier League.
Wilder’s immediate task will be to lift morale and secure a much-needed result when United face Charlton Athletic on Saturday.
