David Wagner 'rules out Aston Villa switch'

Huddersfield Town manager David Wagner tells chairman Dean Hoyle that he will not leave the club for a Championship rival amid speculation linking him with Aston Villa.

Huddersfield Town chairman Dean Hoyle has claimed that manager David Wagner will not leave the club for a Championship rival.

Wagner has enjoyed a positive start to life in English football and was subsequently linked with the Aston Villa job following the departure of Roberto Di Matteo earlier this week.

However, Hoyle revealed that Wagner has given him assurances over his commitment to the club.

"The club doesn't want to get into a situation where it has to comment every time David or a player is linked with a move away, but setting the position out once will help to set our fans' minds at ease," Hoyle told the club's official website.

"Like everyone, I know David has aspirations to manage at the highest level - but I also know he wants that to be with Huddersfield, which we're all working to make possible in the future. David has told me that he would never leave us for another Championship club, regardless of which club that is.

"We all feel like something is coming together here at Huddersfield and we're fully committed to seeing that through. Hopefully this will help to put some of our fans' minds at ease as we all aim to continue our good start to the season, with the game against Sheffield Wednesday on October 16 the only focus."

The Terriers are surprise leaders of the Championship having picked up 25 points from their opening 11 games.
