The Blades were relegated back to the Championship after a two-year stay in the Premier League, finishing bottom after 38 games with Paul Heckinbottom taking caretaker charge of the last two months of the season.

Jokanović joins with a good reputation in the second tier of English football, having guided Watford to promotion in 2015 as well as taking Fulham up in 2018.
