Sheffield Wednesday sack coach Henrik Pedersen after 15 months

Sheffield Wednesday announced the dismissal of head coach Henrik Pedersen, ending his spell at the club after less than 15 months in charge.

Pedersen was appointed earlier this season, but the team struggled to find consistent form under his guidance.

The decision followed a string of consecutive defeats that left the Owls in a precarious position on the league table.

Club officials said the loss of confidence in the current coaching set‑up was a key factor in the decision, and that a new direction was needed to improve results.

Sheffield Wednesday have yet to name a replacement and will likely appoint a caretaker manager while a permanent head coach is sought.
