Former Reading boss Nigel Adkins is one of the bookies choices as potential new Huddersfield Town manager.

The Terriers sacked Danny Schofield after a 2-1 defeat to Wigan Athletic, with the Yorkshire side travelling down to Berkshire immediately after the international break.

According to SkyBet, former Huddersfield manager David Wagner is favourite at 4/11- the German famously leading his side to the Premier League at the expense of Reading in 2017.

Plymouth Argyle boss Michael Schumacher is at 5/1, Wycombe Wanderers manager (and Reading resident) Gareth Ainsworth is at 25/1 while Adkins can be got at 25/1.

The former Southampton and Hull City manager, much-loved on social media for his walking videos, has beenwithout a club since leaving Charlton Athletic last year.

Taking charge of 80 Royals matches between March 2013 and December 2014, he won 29 across the Premier League and Championship, leaving with a win percentage of 36 per cent.

Huddersfield have won just once so far this season and sit 23rd in the Championship- in the bottom three with Coventry City and Swansea City.
