Sheffield Wednesday fans react to the appointment of Garry Monk

Sheffield Wednesday have turned to Garry Monk as their new manager.

The Owls have been in the hunt for a new permanent boss since Steve Bruce’s departure to Newcastle United in the summer.

The Championship side have decided Monk, 40, is the man to take them forward this season.

He has been available since he was sacked by fellow Championship side Birmingham City in June.

He started his managerial career at Swansea City and spent a year-and-a-half at the helm at the Liberty Stadium in the Premier League.

Monk was sacked by the Swans in 2015 and subsequently spent a season at Leeds United where they finished in 7th place just outside of the Play-Offs.

He left Elland Road for an unsuccessful spell at Middlesbrough before boosting his reputation at Birmingham City in the last campaign.

During his playing days, Monk was a central defender for the likes of Swansea, Southampton and Barnsley and had a brief loan stint at Sheffield Wednesday during the 2002/03 season.
