A statement from Wednesday read: “Sheffield Wednesday have parted company with Xisco Muñoz, who leaves Hillsborough with immediate effect.

“Xisco’s backroom staff - Miguel Munoz, Miguel Gomila, Roberto Cuesta Roman and Antonello Brambilla - also depart the club.

“Under-21s manager Neil Thompson will take the team for Saturday’s home game against Huddersfield Town in the Championship.

“The Owls would like to thank Xisco and his staff for their services and wish them well for the future.

“The process to appoint a new manager is now underway and we will make no further comment at this time.”
