Steve Eyre leaves Huddersfield Town

HUDDERSFIELD, ENGLAND - JANUARY 03:  Huddersfield fans watch on during the FA Cup Third Round match between Huddersfield Town and Reading at Galpharm Stadi

Huddersfield first-team coach Steve Eyre has left the club following the arrival of new head coach David Wagner.

Wagner, 44, was unveiled on Monday as successor to Chris Powell, sacked last Wednesday, and will bring with him his own coaching staff, including his assistant at Borussia Dortmund II, Christophe Buhler.

Huddersfield's chief executive Nigel Clibbens told the club's official website: "On behalf of the club, I would like to thank Steve for his considerable contribution during the last three and a half years.

"Steve leaves as the club sets about refreshing and reinvigorating its first team coaching set-up under our new head coach David Wagner.

"Steve has worked hard every day with real commitment to make our players and the team better.

"The fact that he worked in the Under-21 setup and then with two managers is testimony to his qualities. He leaves the club a legacy with the players he has developed and improved whilst with us.

"It is sad to see Steve leave but I have no doubt he will go onto enjoy further successes. I know everyone at Huddersfield Town wishes him all the best."

Eyre was youth team coach at Manchester City before being appointed Rochdale manager in 2011 and initially joined Huddersfield as professional development coach in 2012.

He was made first team coach by former boss Mark Robins and continued in the role under Powell.
