Sheffield Wednesday ace could land new deal, Everton named favourites to land Norwich City star

Sheffield Wednesday finally ended their two-month wait to announce their new manager yesterday morning, when it was confirmed that Darren Moore would be leaving Doncaster Rovers to take the Owls job.

The decision has proved a largely popular one with supporters, who will be hopeful that the charismatic coach can propel the club out of the relegation zone over the coming weeks, and avoid the drop down to League One.

Speaking on his first press call as Wednesday manager, the ex-West Bromwich Albion boss claimed: "It’s an excellent club steeped in tradition.The opportunity was difficult to resist, so I had little hesitation. I get my head down and do my job on a day to day basis.

"It’s wonderful when the work you’re doing is recognised by a club of this size and structure.

“I just want to keep working hard and give Sheffield Wednesday every ounce of myself in terms of getting the club moving forward."

Moore will take charge of his first game as Owls manager this evening, when his take on fellow strugglers Rotherham United at Hillsborough, in what could be a pivotal clash in the ongoing relegation battle.
