"Sheffield United have parted company with head coach Ruben Selles after Friday's 5-0 defeat to Ipswich Town extended their losing start to the Championship season. Sheffield United narrowly missed out on promotion back to the Premier League last term, losing the play-off final 2-1 to Sunderland at Wembley. That loss led to Chris Wilder being relieved of his duties and replaced by former Southampton, Reading and Hull City boss Selles, but the Spaniard only lasted five league games."
"The Blades opened their season with another dismal performance, losing 4-1 to Bristol City, who they had dominated in the play-off semi-finals just months earlier. They then suffered three consecutive 1-0 defeats against Swansea City, Millwall and Middlesbrough, leaving them bottom of the table. And Friday's resounding loss to Ipswich proved the final straw, with the club confirming on Sunday that Selles had left his post."
Sheffield United dismissed head coach Rubén Sellés after five league matches following a 5-0 defeat to Ipswich Town. The club lost 4-1 to Bristol City and then suffered three successive 1-0 defeats to Swansea City, Millwall and Middlesbrough, leaving the team bottom of the Championship. The club narrowly missed promotion last season after a 2-1 play-off final loss to Sunderland, which led to Chris Wilder's earlier exit and Sellés's appointment. Reports indicate Chris Wilder is close to returning for a third spell in charge. Wilder previously guided the club from League One to the Premier League but could not prevent later relegations.
