Sheffield Wednesday confirm manager Darren Moore has left 21 days after gaining promotion
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed manager Darren Moore has left the club by mutual consent just three weeks after achieving promotion to the Championship.
The 49-year-old, who was in charge of the club for two years, lead the side to a 1-0 victory over Barnsley in the Lague One playoff final at Wembley on May 29.
However, the club have now confirmed that Moore is set to leave the club confirming that the process to appoint a new manager has already begun.
Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri told the club’s website: “Both parties believe that now is the right time we go our separate ways.
“The journey of Sheffield Wednesday with Darren has been in many ways unique and always as a team. In the football industry, journeys come to an end and now is that time, which we both agree.
“The mutual respect we have for each other is immense on a personal and professional basis and I offer my sincere thanks for the dedication and commitment Darren has given to our club.
“Darren will always be welcome at Hillsborough.”
Moore, who joined the club in March 2021, helped guide his side to a fourth-placed finish in League One last season, and then a third-placed finish this campaign.
His team’s successful playoff run included a memorable semi-final comeback against Peterborough United when after his side lost the first leg 4-0, they managed to miraculously secure a 5-5 result in the return leg, winning the tie and progressing to the final via a penalty shootout.
He told the club’s website: “I would like to take this time to acknowledge the chairman, Mr Chansiri, for giving me the opportunity to manage this great football club in Sheffield Wednesday, it’s been a journey in every sense.
“Both the chairman and myself have been determined to get this club back into the Championship. I’m delighted this has been achieved, and I hope the football club continues to develop and will soon fulfil the dream of mine, which was to take them back to the Premier League where they belong.
“Onwards and upwards to you all at the club and please stay together as one.”
