Paul Heckingbottom has again taken charge of Sheffield United after today's sacking of Slavisa Jokanovic.

Heckingbottom has been appointed as Sheffield United's new manager after the club parted ways with Jokanovic with the Championship side languishing in 16th place this season.

Former Watford and Fulham boss Jokanovic was named Chris Wilder's replacement last summer and tasked with rebuilding the Blades after a torrid campaign that saw them relegated from the top flight.

The 53-year-old signed a three-year deal, becoming the club's first overseas manager.

His impressive tenures with the Hornets and Cottagers left fans optimistic that he could get the Blades straight back up.
