Sheffield United boss Chris Wilder has extended his contract until the end of the 2027-28 season.

The 57-year-old is in his second spell in charge of his boyhood club.

He led them from League One to the Premier League in his first stint at Bramall Lane between 2016 and 2021 before returning in December 2023.

Wilder’s previous deal had been set to finish at the end of this season but the Blades’ new owners, American-based consortium COH Sports, have moved to tie him down long-term.

“Sheffield United is my club, and there is no place I’d rather be, so I am thrilled to be signing a new deal,” he told the club website., external

“The football club is in a really good place, there’s a real feel-good factor around the training ground and I’m excited about what we can achieve together.

“The new owners have been incredibly helpful to me since they arrived, and I’d personally like to thank them for their faith and support in what we are trying to work towards.”

Wilder returned to the South Yorkshire club just over a year ago after the sacking of Paul Heckingbottom and, although he was unable to stop them finishing bottom of the Premier League, he has helped to spearhead a promotion push this season.

The Blades are two points behind Championship leaders Leeds United with 17 games to play.
