Huddersfield Town sacks Michael Duff; Jon Worthington named interim coach

Huddersfield Town has sacked head coach Michael Duff following a disappointing run of form, including four defeats in five League One matches, culminating in a 1-0 loss to Bristol Rovers. The decision came as the Terriers fell out of the play-off positions, prompting owner Kevin Nagle to emphasize the need for change to reignite their promotion challenge. Nagle acknowledged Duff's hard work and the impact of injuries on the team's performance, stating the club's resources should yield better results than the four wins in their last 15 games. Jon Worthington, the Academy manager, has been appointed as interim head coach for the remainder of the season. Duff, who previously guided Cheltenham Town to a League Two title and had a brief tenure at Barnsley, took charge at Huddersfield after their relegation from the Championship last summer. His departure reflects the club's ambitions to return to the Championship after last season's setback.
