Christopher John Wilder (born September 23, 1967 in Stocksbridge ) is a former English football player and current coach . He is currently the head coach of Sheffield United .

Career

As a player

Wilder played after his training at Southampton FC from the age of 19 414 times (14 goals) in lower-class English leagues, where he was the longest and most often active for Rotherham United . His last stop was Halifax Town , where he finally ended his playing career in 2001 at the age of 33.

As a trainer

He began his coaching career with the seventh division Alfreton Town, with whom he won four amateur titles. Then, from 2002, Wilder was head coach of his former club Halifax Town for six years, for which he was on the sidelines in over 300 games.

After half a year as assistant to former Halifax player Alan Knill at Bury FC , Wilder was responsible for the then fifth division Oxford United for six seasons . For the 2010/11 season they were promoted to Football League Two , in which Oxford was able to hold up until they separated from Wilder. This was completed in January 2014, where he took over the league competitor Northampton Town , for whom he had already been on loan. Northampton won the fourth division championship under Wilder in the 2015/16 season with 13 points ahead of his old club Oxford and was promoted to League One .

As the successor to Nigel Adkins , Wilder signed a three-year contract with Sheffield United , his first professional club as a player, in May 2016 . Within three seasons, the former defender made two promotions with Sheffield and made it into the Premier League with the club in the 2019/20 season . In July 2019, his expiring contract with the blades was extended to 2022 and six months later to 2024 with the option for another year.
