Sheffield Wednesday Football Club confirms that Henrik Pedersen has left the club with immediate effect. Henrik led the first team through an exceptional period in the club's history, providing stability and leadership during a time of significant uncertainty and change. The club would like to place on record its sincere thanks to Henrik for his contribution and wishes him every success in the future. Sporting Director Simon Wilson said: “First and foremost, I want to thank Henrik for his professionalism, commitment and contribution during an exceptionally challenging period for Sheffield Wednesday. “We knew the start of this season would be difficult due to the scale of change across the club, but our expectation was always that we would develop as the season progressed, establishing a recognisable style of play and greater consistency in our performances. “Although we have accumulated points, we haven’t seen enough progress in those areas. We believe making a change now gives us the best opportunity to establish those foundations and build towards the second half of the season and beyond. “We remain ambitious about what we can achieve this campaign, and our focus remains on building a Sheffield Wednesday team with a clear identity, capable of delivering sustained improvement and long-term success.” Matt Hamshaw will take interim charge of the first team while the club undertakes the process of appointing its next Head Coach. The club will provide further updates when appropriate.

🚨🎙️ Wayne Rooney on Getafe offering Jadon Sancho just £10,000 a week: 🗣️ “That is completely disrespectful from Getafe. I’m not Sancho’s biggest fan, but offering a player of his calibre just £10,000 a week at 26 years old is a massive insult. If you don’t value the player enough, don’t bother making an offer in the first place. Put some respect on his name.” 👀🔥

Michael Carrick responds to Bruno Fernandes appearing to question his tactics: "We actually half-pressed, man-to-man in the second half and then ended up conceding a goal from that. It's a little bit on whatever system you play, whatever tactics you play, if you don't run and you don't run forward and you don't run back, you ain't going to win." 😬

Club statement: 21 October, 2026 Sheffield Wednesday is aware of racist abuse directed towards the family of one of our players on social media following last night’s fixture. We stand unequivocally with our player and his family, who have the club’s complete support. Racism is abhorrent. It has no place in football or in society, and we condemn this abuse in the strongest possible terms. The comments have been reported to the relevant authorities, with whom we will work to ensure those responsible are identified and held accountable. This is not the first incident of its kind involving our players, staff and their families this season. The continued targeting of individuals and their loved ones is utterly unacceptable. Only last weekend, we stood alongside the EFL in supporting its Together Against Racism campaign. Incidents such as this reinforce why collective action and meaningful consequences remain so important. There can be no tolerance, no excuses and no ambiguity when it comes to racism or discrimination of any kind. Sheffield Wednesday will continue to stand with those affected and take the strongest possible action against anyone responsible for such abuse.
