Huddersfield have offered David Wagner their vacant manager’s job, six years after the German left the club.

The Terriers sacked former boss Michael Duff in March after the falling off the pace in the race for the League One play-offs, with Jon Worthington taking charge on an interim basis since then.

But with the season wrapping up on Saturday as the Yorkshire outfit finished in the 10th place, they have now turned their attention to finding a manager to lead them out of the third tier.

And they have set their sights on a familiar face, who are looking to bring former boss Wagner back to the John Smith’s Stadium.

The German secured legend status at Huddersfield after guiding the club to promotion to the Premier League in 2017, before keeping them up the following season.

He left the Terriers by mutual consent in January 2019, with his side bottom of the top-flight table, and eight points from safety.

Since then, Huddersfield have dropped to the third tier and gone through nine permanent managers.

Wagner has been out of work since his sacking by Norwich at the end of last season after just 18 months in charge, having also had stints at Schalke and Young Boys following his Huddersfield exit.

He first took charge in West Yorkshire in November 2015, being appointed manager following Chris Powell’s departure.

After guiding the Terriers to a 19th place Championship finish in his first season in charge, the 53-year-old then enjoyed an historic second term at the wheel.

In the 2016/17 campaign, Huddersfield finished fifth, qualifying for the play-offs where they beat Reading on penalties at Wembley to reach the Premier League for the first time in their history.

Wagner’s first stab at top-flight football proved hugely successful, as his side came 16th, four points clear of the relegation zone
