Huddersfield Town have appointed David Wagner as Head Coach.
The former Borussia Dortmund II boss will be joined by Christoph Bühler, who he worked with in Germany.
Wagner, a former USA player, had been heavily linked with Town since Chris Powell was sacked yesterday.
Bookies stopped taking bets on the former Schalke 04 player yesterday evening.
Wagner, who studied a degree in Biology and Sports Science at the University of Darmstadt and worked as a teacher before earning his UEFA Pro License following the end of his playing career, will be in the stands for the Leeds game on Saturday.
He will start work proper at the club on Monday.

“It is new departure for us. He will be Head Coach; he is the Club’s first from outside the UK and Ireland and he brings a new approach and new ideas.

“In his own words, and as we hope will be seen in practise, his playing style echoes the one that has brought Borussia Dortmund such success over the last five years. Although the players are different, there are few fans who have watched that style in action and not found it enthralling to watch. I believe that will excite our fans.
