The 57-year-old, a lifelong Blade, steps back into the dugout for a third time with the club rooted to the bottom of the Championship, having lost all five of their opening league fixtures. Selles' departure came in the aftermath of Friday's heavy 5-0 defeat at Ipswich, which left United searching for an alternative."
"Chris Wilder returns with proven leadership and an unparalleled understanding of Sheffield United. We are confident he is the right person to restore momentum, unite the squad and supporters, and deliver the results necessary to achieve our objectives this season. "We would like to thank Ruben Selles for his hard work and professionalism during his time at the club. Responsibility for recent results lies with us"
