The official statement from the club read: "Sheffield United have moved swiftly to fill the managerial hot seat at Bramall Lane, appointing a boss with Premier League and Championship experience.0

“Ruben Selles is the new Blades manager and moves to S2 having signed a three-year deal with the club. Further coaching appointments will follow in due course."
