Huddersfield manager accuses players of lacking commitment after relegation virtually confirmed

Huddersfield manager Andre Breitenreiter has not held back in his criticism of some of his players, accusing them of lacking “heart and passion” after the club’s relegation to League One was virtually confirmed.

Following a draw with Birmingham, Huddersfield are on the brink of dropping down a division, needing a miracle to stay in the Championship. Breitenreiter expressed his disappointment with the lack of commitment from certain players, highlighting their early departures from the dressing room as a sign of their attitude.

The manager admitted that some players had only been selected due to injuries to others, indicating that he may have made mistakes in his team selection throughout the season. However, he did praise the efforts of Ollie Turton and Rhys Healey, who showed the right attitude and commitment in the recent game.

Breitenreiter emphasized the importance of playing with passion and for the team, rather than seeking individual glory. He stressed the need for the right players to embody the culture of Huddersfield and give their best in every game.

Looking ahead, the manager acknowledged that mistakes were made throughout the season and that a thorough analysis would be needed before any decisions are made about the future. Despite the disappointment of relegation looming, Breitenreiter remains focused on addressing the issues within the team and striving for improvement in the seasons to come.
