Profile
Chris Wilder is the current manager of Sheffield United, the EFL Championship club he has led since March 2022. He returned to Bramall Lane following a period away from the club, tasking himself with the challenge of restoring the Blades to the Premier League after their relegation.
Wilder's managerial career has been defined by consistent progression and shrewd team-building. After early appointments at Halifax and Altofts, he gained prominence during a lengthy spell at Sheffield United from 2011 to 2020, where he earned promotion from League One to the Premier League and established the club as a competitive top-flight side. His subsequent tenure at Middlesbrough proved less successful before he secured the Reading job, stabilising the club's fortunes. As a player, Wilder worked as a right-back across the lower divisions, gaining valuable experience that would inform his later approach to management and development of young talent.
