David Wagner signs new contract with Huddersfield until 2019

Huddersfield head coach David Wagner has signed a new contract to keep him at the club until 2019.

Wagner has been rewarded for guiding Huddersfield to promotion to the Premier League last season for the first time in their history.

The 45-year-old's assistant head coach Christoph Buehler has also penned a new contract with the club until 2019.

"Head coach David Wagner and assistant head coach Christoph Buehler have reaffirmed their commitment to Huddersfield Town after signing new contracts at the club," a Huddersfield statement read.

"David and Christoph have put pen to paper on new contracts that will run until the summer of 2019 ahead of the club's first ever Premier League campaign."

Wagner, alongside Buehler, joined Huddersfield in November 2015 from Borussia Dortmund II.

Under Wagner, Huddersfield consolidated their Championship status and finished 19th in the 2015-16 season, before finishing fifth last term and gaining promotion to the Premier League through the playoffs, beating Reading in the final, to reach the English top flight for the first time in 45 years.
