Danny Cowley has been appointed as the new manager of Huddersfield Town, with his brother Nicky as his assistant.

In a statement released on Monday, Huddersfield said: "Huddersfield Town are delighted to confirm the appointment of Danny Cowley as the club's new manager. Danny will be joined at Huddersfield Town by his brother and assistant manager Nicky.

"The duo were identified by chairman Phil Hodgkinson and head of football operations David Webb as the club's first choice for this appointment after an extensive and detailed search.

"Compensation has been agreed with their previous club Lincoln City and the Cowley brothers will begin their work with the Terriers in preparation for the Sheffield Wednesday game."

Previous boss Jan Siewert departed Huddersfield after managing just one victory from his 19 games in charge of the West Yorkshire side.

After the German's dismissal, Mark Hudson was named as the Terriers' interim boss and oversaw their Sky Bet Championship games against Cardiff, Reading and Luton, which all ended in defeats.
