Huddersfield Town has appointed Martin Drury as its new head coach, a role that completes Drury's long-held quest to manage the club. Drury, who was born in Huddersfield, expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity to lead the team. The 40-year-old had previously served as interim boss, presiding over the final seven games of the League One campaign alongside Jon Stead, who remains as assistant head coach. During his interim spell, the pair won two, drew four, and lost one match. Drury's appointment marks his second permanent managerial role, having previously managed Bradford Park Avenue in non-league between 2015 and 2016. He has also held various roles at Bradford City, Manchester United, and West Bromwich Albion. Drury admitted to having reservations about taking the role due to the club's high turnover of managers in recent years. However, he feels optimistic about the team's future, citing positive conversations with the club about its mindset and thought process. Drury's journey to becoming Huddersfield Town's head coach has been long and winding, with stints in Spain and the Premier League. He joined Town as Liam Manning's assistant in January and stepped in as interim boss in March. Now, as permanent head coach, Drury is eager to apply his ideas and make the team a success. Drury's experience and passion for the club make him a strong candidate to lead Huddersfield Town to success. With his appointment, the club hopes to bring stability and consistency to the team. Drury's first task will be to prepare the team for the upcoming season, and he will be looking to make a positive impact from the start.
