Leigh Bromby<\/a>: We Must Start Believing in Ourselves and Our People Once Again<\/h3>\n

Leigh Bromby, head of football operations, said<\/a>: “After two difficult seasons, we have put a lot of thought and work into what we want to be and how we operate moving forward.<\/p>\n

“Obviously, we need to return to winning games, and to be successful we must have all areas of the club aligned in the way we work.<\/p>\n

“We want to return to the \u2018No Limits\u2019 mentality that served this club so well back in 2017.<\/p>\n

“We must start believing in ourselves and our people once again; players and staff alike.<\/p>\n

“Carlos was our ideal candidate for our new head coach from the outset, as his idea of football is completely aligned with ours.<\/p>\n

“He is very strong on the need for a team to have a strength of identity on the pitch; a way of playing that leaves players in no doubt on their roles when they step foot onto the grass.<\/p>\n

“He believes in a high energy, high intensity, attacking style of play.<\/p>\n

“He is a coach whose focus is on working to improve players. Like us, he has a real belief in young players too, and desire to work with them to help them thrive.<\/p>\n

“He\u2019s incredibly passionate about this opportunity, and he has real belief in himself. He\u2019s determined to bring success back to Huddersfield Town.”<\/p>\n
