HUDDERSFIELD are searching for a new manager following the departure of head coach Danny Schofield.
And a familiar face in David Wagner leads the betting markets, priced at 1/3 with bookmakers Sky Bet.

Schofield was axed shortly after Tuesday's 2-1 defeat to Wigan at the John Smith's Stadium, after 69 days in charge.
It was the club's SIXTH defeat in their opening eight Championship fixtures, and leaves them anchored in 23rd position.
Schofield was promoted following the resignation of Carlos Corberan, who narrowly missed out on promotion after a play-off final defeat by Nottingham Forest.
The club said in a statement: "Everyone at the club would like to thank Danny for his hard work and dedication and wishes him the very best for the future."
Narcis Pelach and Paul Harsley will lead the side in Saturday's clash against Cardiff.
But a permanent appointment will likely be made before an away trip to Reading on October 1.
And the most likely candidate is former boss Wagner, who left the Terriers by mutual consent in January 2019.

The German led Huddersfield to the Premier League in 2017 having taken charge in 2015, and managed a very respectable 16th-place finish.
Wagner had a 33.1% win ratio from his 154 games as boss but struggled in his two subsequent positions at Schalke and Young Boys in Switzerland.
He's been a free agent since March and could be tempted by a return to West Yorkshire.
Anthony Barry, who is an assistant at Chelsea and the Belgian national side, is next at 8/1, ahead of MK Dons boss Liam Manning at 12s.
Everton legend Duncan Ferguson and Manchester United hero Michael Carrick are locked together at 14/1.
Sean Dyche, Daniel Farke and Neil Warnock are also in the mix.
