Huddersfield Town's 2025-26 season was marked by the departure of first-time manager Lee Grant, who was replaced by former Norwich City boss Liam Manning. The team got off to a promising start but fell away, finishing ninth, an improvement of one place on the previous campaign. Manning was forced to take time off on compassionate leave, meaning Martin Drury and Jon Stead were required to get the team through the remainder of the season. Ultimately, finishing ninth was a disappointing outcome, but Drury has been given the task on a permanent basis to lead Town back up to the Championship. Yorkshire Post football writer Leon Wobschall casts an eye over Huddersfield's 2025-26 campaign, while looking ahead to the work that perhaps needs to be done during the off-season to give Town a decent chance of ending their time outside the Championship by this time next year.
