Sheffield Wednesday have had a difficult summer to contend with but are still working as hard as they can to give themselves a chance of Championship survival.
Henrik Pedersen’s side are yet to get a win in the league this season but were able to make some additions to the squad after Manchester United agreed to fund Harry Amass’ loan.
Work isn’t stopping there and Pedersen has his eyes on improving his coaching staff next.

Henrik Pedersen wants Craig Mudd to become his new coach
The Wednesday boss has received help from Andy Holdsworth and Giles Coke on the coaching staff but according to the Sheffield Star, the Owls want Craig Mudd to join the coaching team.
Mudd is working at Manchester City’s academy as their U21s assistant and worked alongside Pep Guardiola at the Club World Cup.
Pedersen revealed that Wednesday were “very close” to finalising deals for new coaches and are looking for a goalkeeping coach, defensive coach and attacking coach.
Who is Sheffield Wednesday-linked Craig Mudd?
Craig Mudd is a former professional footballer now working as an assistant manager at Man City.
His playing days saw him represent the likes of Rotherham United before joining Leeds United as a youth coach and working his way up the ranks.
He then moved to Man City, initially as a part-time coach in 2012, before moving up the ladder and is now working with the next generation of talent to come through at the Premier League giants.
