Mark Lillis named Huddersfield caretaker manager

Mark Lillis has been named caretaker manager of Huddersfield Town.

Mark Robins left the club on Sunday, a day after Town lost their opening game of the season 4-0 at home to Bournemouth.

Lillis told the club's official website: "As a club - staff, players and fans alike - we have to pull together and move on.

"Due to the integration of the club's first team and academy set-up at PPG Canalside, the first-team players see me every day.

"That makes it as smooth a transition for them as possible, which is a positive.

"We have a Capital One Cup game at Chesterfield on Tuesday, which is an important one for the club and players after the performance and result on Saturday.

"We must go into the cup game to win and play how we can. A win could kick-off a run.

"I know that the fans will get behind the players if they put a shift in and we've challenged the players to do that."
