Huddersfield Town head coach Liam Manning has stepped away from his role for the remainder of the current campaign. The club confirmed the decision was made to allow Manning to take compassionate leave, according to Sky Sports. He will be absent from the dugout as the team concludes its league fixtures.
First-team coach Chris Hogg will take charge of the squad in Manning's absence. Hogg is set to oversee training and matchday duties starting with the next league fixture, per a statement from Huddersfield Town. The club's hierarchy expressed full support for Manning and his family during this period.
Huddersfield currently sit in the mid-table positions of the Championship as they enter the final weeks of the season. The board remains focused on stability under the temporary guidance of Hogg, according to The Guardian. No further details regarding the length of the absence or Manning's expected return date for the next season have been provided by club officials.
