Huddersfield Town have sacked manager Danny Cowley.

The Championship club find themselves three points away from the relegation zone with a single game left in the league.

The announcement came days after the Terries defeated West Bromwich Albion 2-1 to reach the 50-point mark.

But Cowley and his assistant manager and brother Nicky Cowley are departing after a reign of 40 games.

Chairman Phil Hodgkinson said: "I would like to place my thanks on record to Danny and Nicky for their hard work and dedication towards securing the club's place in the Championship for next season.

"That was the clear priority when they were appointed in September and we are very grateful that has been achieved.

"We all wish Danny and Nicky all the best for the future and they leave with my best wishes in their future endeavours.

"However, we have made this decision in the belief that, in the long term, it is in the best interests of the club as we move forward. We have a different vision for the way we operate the club, and how our ambitions can be achieved."
