Mark Lillis named Huddersfield Town caretaker manager

Huddersfield Town have confirmed that academy coach Mark Lillis has been appointed the club's caretaker manager.

The Terriers are currently without a permanent boss following Mark Robins's departure over the weekend.

Robins left the club by mutual consent on Sunday, just 24 hours after the team's opening-day defeat to Bournemouth in the Championship.

"As a club – staff, players and fans alike – we have to pull together and move on," Lillis told Huddersfield's official website. "I know that the fans will get behind the players if they put a shift in and we've challenged the players to do that."

Huddersfield return to action on Tuesday when they travel to Chesterfield in the first round of the League Cup.
