Post: Teams start with nightmare, Sheffield United considers reappointing Wilder as head coach

September 13 According to the Post, Sheffield United considers reappointing Wilder as the team's head coach to save the nightmare at the beginning of the season.

Although two points were deducted for not paying the transfer fee, Sheffield United ended last season with 90 points in 46 games. Then-head coach Wilder was replaced by Ruben Celes, but the latter led the team to lose all the first six games of the new season and failed to score a goal in the last four games.

This Friday, Sheffield United lost 0-5 in Ipswich and is currently at the bottom of the English Championship. Fans are very angry and Celes is facing tremendous pressure. The Sheffield United Board of Directors is ready to admit its mistakes and stop losses in a timely manner. The Post learned that the possibility of Wilder's return is real. In addition, the 57-year-old coach is willing to consider returning to the club to help the team get out of the situation again.

Wilder was born in South Yorkshire and is a Sheffield United fan. He has played twice as a player at Bramo Lane Stadium and has served as head coach twice. He led the team from the third-tier league to ninth place in the Premier League in the 2019/20 season, cementing his position as a legend. However, he was eventually fired as the team gradually moved towards relegation over the following season.

In recent years, the stability of Bramo Lane Stadium has been affected by changes in the board of directors. Longtime chairman Kevin McCabe lost in his power struggle with co-owner Prince Abdullah, who sold the club to a U.S. consortium led by Steven Rosen and Helmi Eltuki in December.

Wilder was reappointed by Prince Abdullah but was fired again last summer due to disagreements with the new board on signing strategies. The new board of directors is determined to implement an AI-led model.

However, according to people familiar with the matter, there was no quarrel when the two sides broke up. While Wilder wants some freedom when managing the club, those around him say he has become more gentle in recent years, aware of the changes in modern football and believes that data technology is crucial to success.
