LEAGUE ONE ROUND-UP: New manager appointed at one of Peterborough United's League One rivals.
Barnsley have re-appointed Daniel Stendel as manager.
Stendel led ‘The Reds’ to automatic promotion from League One in 2018/19, setting a club points record and going unbeaten all season at Oakwell in the league. He was controversially sacked the following October following the sale of several key men and a poor start to the Championship season.
Stendel has since had brief spells at Hearts in Scotland and AS Nancy in France before returning to previous club Hannover as coach of their second team whose season ends on Saturday.
He will now replace Conor Hourihane who led the Reds to a 15th place finish in League One before leaving by mutual consent.
Meanwhile Liam Manning has left Huddersfield Town by mutual consent after a short spell in charge. Manning, a former boss of Oxford United, Bristol City and Norwich City, replaced Lee Grant at Huddersfield in January, but stepped away from the club in March for personal reasons.
“Stepping down from Huddersfield Town has been a difficult decision, but one I feel is best for the club, my family and myself at this time,” Manning told the club website.
Huddersfield enjoyed a new manager bounce when Manning took over. ‘The Terriers’ won three games on the spin including a 3-2 success at Posh before a ninth place finish, eight points adrift of the play-offs.
Elsewhere in League One it’s been reported 22 year-old Luton Town midfielder Sverre Sandal is the subject of a £1.7 million bid from Premier League Leeds United. Sendel has yet to start a game for Luton following a big money move from Norwegian football in January.
Plymouth Argyle want to sign Oxford United forward Owen Dale after a successful loan spell at Home Park last season and Reading want Wycombe Wanderers winger Fred Onyedinma who has failed to agree a new contract at Adams Park.
