On August 17, 2019, Huddersfield Town announced the termination of Head Coach Jan Siewert's contract with immediate effect.
The decision came after the team's 2-1 defeat to Fulham at the John Smith's Stadium, which marked their third consecutive loss.
Siewert joined the club in January 2019, replacing David Wagner, but was unable to help them escape relegation from the Premier League at the end of the season.
His only win in charge of the club was a 1-0 victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers in late February, with Steve Mounie scoring the lone goal.
With just one point out of a possible nine in the 2019-20 season, the club's management had no choice but to terminate Siewert's contract in a bid to avoid yet another relegation.
A statement released by the club read: "Huddersfield Town has this evening terminated the contract of Head Coach Jan Siewert with immediate effect."
"Siewert joined the Club from Borussia Dortmund in January 2019 in the Club's ultimately unsuccessful fight against relegation from the Premier League and led the team in the first four competitive games of the new season, with his final game in charge being the Championship defeat to Fulham on Friday evening."
The Terriers are currently 20th on the table with 24 teams after drawing just one out of their first three games this season.
It remains to be seen who will be appointed as the new manager to turn around the team's season and help them return to the Premier League in the nearest future.
