New Huddersfield boss Jan Siewart: We all must speak English here

New Huddersfield Town boss Jan Siewart says he will insist on English being spoken throughout the squad.

The German admits he needs to improve his own English.

Siewart said, “I'd like to talk to everyone in English and that's really important because we are an English football club and it's English thinking. Maybe some of the German players could teach me some more English words."

The manager hopes to soon talk to predecessor David Wagner.

“Not yet, I will, but not yet because I've had so many things to do, but I will.

“As I tried to explain, Huddersfield Town is a very special club for me and it's very familiar. I was observing the games and had a connection through that. I'm very proud to be signing here, it's the next step for me, a big step, but I'm looking forward to getting started."
