Huddersfield Town are remaining calm despite rumours linking manager David Wagner to Derby County.

Huddersfield Town are not worried about reports linking manager David Wagner with a move to Derby County, as reported by the Huddersfield Examiner.

The Terriers have started their 2016-17 campaign like a train and currently find themselves top of the Championship after 10 games.

As a result of this fine early-season form, it is only natural that fans were worried when rumours arose that manager Wagner has been linked with a move to Derby.

The Terriers regained their place at the top of the league following their 2-1 victory over Rotherham in mid-week, and this latest piece of news from the Examiner will certainly give supporters hope that Wagner is here to stay.

In the past the German himself has stated that his work at the John Smith’s Stadium is a long term project, and the fact that he signed a new contract in June seems to reaffirm that statement.

According to the latest report, chairman Dean Hoyle believes the contract signifies his commitment to the club and that there is no reason to be concerned by the rumours.

That news will come as a big boost for Terriers fans, with whom Wagner is an understandably popular figure as a result of the attacking performances and impressive results on show so far this season.

The focus will now shift to the coming weekend, when Huddersfield travel to Portman Road to face Ipswich Town.
