Whoever replaces David Wagner at Huddersfield Town faces an almost impossible task attempting to keep the club in the Premier League.

The toothless Terriers are bottom of the table, eight points from safety and have scored a measly 13 goals in 22 top flight games so far this season.

So, in the eyes of some supporters, the best course of action would be to appoint a coach with a return to the Championship in mind. A man capable of leading Huddersfield back to the Premier League at the first time of asking with relegation looming large.

So who better than Slavisa Jokanovic?

The Serb might have been sacked by Fulham just two months ago with The Cottagers stuck in a survival scrap but he remains very highly regarded. It has not been forgotten that Jokanovic guided Fulham back to the promised land in May while playing some of the most exciting attacking football in the Championship.

He was a promotion winner with Watford too back in 2015.

And Huddersfield fans would relish the fast-paced and swashbuckling style of the former Chelsea defender after falling to the bottom of the table under the cautious and pragmatic Wagner.
