Chris Wilder commits his future to Sheffield United with long-term deal | OneFootball

Sheffield United have announced that boss Chris Wilder has penned a contract extension to keep him at the club until 2028.

The Blades are under new ownership, as an American consortium replaced Saudi Arabian Prince Abdullah in a takeover that was completed in December.

Wilder is in his second spell at the club, having already earned promotion to the Premier League in 2017.

"Sheffield United is my club, and there is no place I'd rather be, so I am thrilled to be signing a new deal," Wilder told the club's official website.

"The football club is in a really good place, there's a real feelgood 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 at this football club. I'm looking forward to working more closely with them and I'm excited about what we can achieve together in the future.

"My thanks also extends to the supporters who have stuck with us after a difficult time last season. You all know how I feel about this football club, and your continued backing is never underestimated."

The Blades are gunning for promotion to the top flight once again, currently sitting just two points behind Leeds in second place in the Championship.
