Sheffield Wednesday look for a new manager
The Owls have had a busy summer with the departure of promotion-winning manager Darren Moore and the appointment of former Watford boss Munoz as Moore’s replacement by owner Dejphon Chansiri.
The fact that Wednesday had a terrible start to the season—picking up just two points from ten games—means that it’s safe to conclude that decision was a disaster. Wednesday is currently last in the standings.
As they had lost to West Brom the previous week, the away end had been demanding for Munoz to be fired, and on Wednesday, the decision was made.
In preparation for the crucial match against Huddersfield this weekend, U21 manager Neil Thompson is in charge. A permanent replacement is anticipated after the current international break.
Sabri Lamouchi becomes a potential Sheffield Wednesday candidate.
Unsurprisingly, a few names have recently been associated with the position; Nathan Jones and Steve Evans are said to be candidates.
Yet, according to journalist Darren Witcoop, Lamouchi is another who might be on the Yorkshire outfit’s radar.
Regarding the Sheffield Wednesday position, Sabrin Lamouchi is one to monitor. The Frenchman, who has worked as a manager for Cardiff and Nottingham Forest in the Champions League, was supposed to return to Qatar SC this week. He has teamed up with Pini Zahavi as an agent to look for new chances.
Would Sheffield Wednesday make a wise choice in Sabri Lamouchi?
Lamouchi is a seasoned manager at this level, so it would seem like a very wise decision to make him the starter on Wednesday.
During the 2019–20 season, when Nottingham Forest narrowly missed the playoffs, he made an impression.
He was hired as Cardiff City manager in January, when they were struggling and close to the bottom of the Championship, which may be more important to the Owls.
But under his leadership, the team would continue to compete, and the Bluebirds made an impression with their structure and organization at the time.
Although he only signed a temporary contract, it was anticipated that Lamouchi would stay in Wales longer. However, no new agreement could be struck, therefore Cardiff turned to other options.
Given Wednesday’s predicament, Lamouchi may be the ideal manager because his team has a reputation for being strong defensively throughout the years.
For Sheffield Wednesday, what comes next?
As previously indicated, Saturday’s game for Wednesday is crucial as former manager Moore welcomes Huddersfield back to Hillsborough, where the Terriers are only two points above the drop zone.
The Owls will see this as a fantastic opportunity to gain their first win of the season, even if Huddersfield will feel it’s also a game they should be winning given their precarious position. The Owls absolutely need to cut the seven-point deficit to safety given their precarious position.
During the international break that follows the Huddersfield game, a permanent appointment is anticipated. Therefore, the new manager’s opening contest might come on October 21 against Watford.
