Sheffield Wednesday have brought in Adam Pearson and Glenn Roeder to work alongside Stuart Gray on a managerial committee.
Pearson is the former owner and chairman of Hull City and Derby County, and has spent time on the Leeds United board, while Roeder has managed Newcastle United, West Ham and Norwich City.
The club say the arrangement will put in place a ‘three-man sporting director’ which they hope will ‘evolve and expand on an ongoing basis’.
“Adam and Glenn are seasoned football professionals and I am delighted they are joining us on this exciting journey, which we all intend will lead to the Premier League,” said Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri.
“To achieve that ambition, it is imperative for the prosperity of our club that anyone I introduce is of absolutely the right football calibre and both Adam and Glenn meet this requirement.
“They will work alongside our head coach Stuart Gray having been carefully selected to focus on a clearly defined scope of responsibility deemed vital to the club’s interests and future successes, on and off the pitch.
“I would like to officially welcome Adam and Glenn to Sheffield Wednesday.”
