Neil Warnock has come out of retirement to take over as manager of Championship strugglers Huddersfield Town.
The 74-year-old announced his retirement last April, five months after leaving Middlesbrough.
Warnock is now back in the dugout for the 18th permanent position of his managerial career, with this his second spell in charge of Huddersfield.
He returns to the club almost 30 years after his first stint, during which time he earned the Terriers’ promotion to the second tier via the play-offs in the 1994-95 campaign.
“I’m really excited about this challenge,” Warnock told Huddersfield’s official website.
“My first spell at Huddersfield Town had everything; we went to Wembley twice, moved into the new stadium, and really built the club from nothing. It was a special time.
“I’m coming back to help the club, but also [chairman] Dean Hoyle. I know what he has done behind the scenes and I’ve always had a lot of time for him.
“I’ve looked at the fixtures and we’ve got some fantastic games to come. I want to come back and put smiles on faces.”
