Developing story first seen 3 hours ago
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed the appointment of former Rotherham United manager Matt Hamshaw as a first-team coach, reinforcing their backroom staff with a coach experienced in League One success. The move reunites Hamshaw with the club where he began his playing career and reflects Wednesday’s focus on adding proven promotion experience.
Hamshaw, 44, was sacked by Rotherham in March after roughly a year as manager. Before that, he was part of Paul Warne’s coaching staff during three League One promotion-winning campaigns; as a player, he scored twice in 76 league appearances for the Owls.
