Huddersfield manager Jan Siewert will begin preparing his team for a season in the Championship after relegation from the Premier League.
Saturday’s defeat at Crystal Palace meant Town became only the second Premier League team, after Derby in 2008, to be relegated before the end of March.
A difficult season had contributed to the departure of David Wagner and Siewert’s appointment later that January, but after battling to avoid the Championship the German will immediately begin to focus on what is required to succeed there.
That Huddersfield have resisted the temptation to overspend in an attempt to avoid relegation potentially gives them a greater chance of stability and the ability to possibly mount an immediate promotion challenge, and Siewert said: “I know the Championship will be coming so I can focus even more on it. “Before it was more like getting the right performance and showing that we want to stay in the Premier League.

Most of the work was to have the chance of staying up and with the Wolves win we had real hope. “This is hard to take but it shows we were competitive in the Premier League and this makes me positive for the future in the Championship. “The club is a good club and it’s really structured.
That’s a good thing for us to start in the Championship and then we can have a look at what’s possible there.”
