(Reuters) - Sheffield Wednesday's manager Darren Moore has left by mutual consent despite guiding them back to the Championship (second tier) via a stunning playoff run in May, the club said on Monday.
The 49-year-old Moore became manager of Wednesday in 2021, when they were in the Championship relegation zone. The team finished last, dropping to League One, but Moore took them into the promotion playoffs the following season, when they lost to Sunderland.
Last season, Moore led the side to a fairytale promotion out of League One, when they staged one of the greatest comebacks in English football league playoff history. Having lost 4-0 to Peterborough in the first leg of the semi-final, Wednesday won 5-1 in the second leg to take the tie to penalties, winning the shootout 5-3."Sheffield Wednesday's journey with Darren has been in many ways unique and always as a team. In the world of football, journeys come to an end and now is that time, which we both agree," chairman Dejphon Chansiri said in a statement.
