"Entering this season with renewed optimism and hope having proactively reshaped our first team throughout the summer, we were clear about not only our ambitions but how we wanted to achieve them, and the type of team on the pitch we wanted to enjoy alongside our supporters," Huddersfield owner Kevin Nagle said. "Sadly, on current form, none of those objectives are being met, and with just under half of the season remaining we feel no other option but to make a change to put the side back on track."
""I would like to thank Lee for his efforts and wish him nothing but the best for his future career. Our previously stated aims and desires for the season remain the same, and we will be making a change with those ambitions still firmly in mind.""
"Aiming to win promotion back to the Championship at the second attempt, the club overhauled the squad over the summer and made a bright start, with five wins from their first seven league games. They have struggled for consistency since and Saturday's defeat at the Brewers left them 10 points off the top two in sixth place."
Huddersfield Town dismissed manager Lee Grant following a 3-1 defeat at Burton Albion. Grant had been appointed in May on a three-year contract, his first managerial role after three years on Ipswich Town's coaching staff. The club reshaped the squad over the summer aiming for promotion and won five of their first seven league games but produced inconsistent results since and sit sixth, ten points off the top two. Owner Kevin Nagle said objectives are not being met and that a change was necessary to put the side back on track. Huddersfield are the seventh League One side to change manager this season.
