The Blades slipped to their sixth defeat in six games after a 5-0 loss at Ipswich Town on Friday.
The heavy defeat left Sheffield United without a single point and followed an earlier exit from the League Cup at the hands of Birmingham City.
As a result, the club moved quickly to make a change in the dugout.
The 42-year-old Ruben Selles, who replaced Chris Wilder in June on a three-year deal, leaves with his side struggling for form and confidence.
According to reports, Wilder is lining up a return to Bramall Lane to take charge once more.
“Sheffield United Football Club’s board of directors have opted to make a change at the managerial level,” – the club said in a statement.
“After a disappointing start to the EFL (English Football League) Championship campaign, Ruben Selles has been relieved of his duties as manager.”
“Following a review of recent performances, and taking into account the feelings of supporters, the timing of the change has been made to give the club the best possible opportunity to improve the current league position.” – the club added.
Fans and pundits reacted swiftly. Some contrasted the turmoil at Bramall Lane with the frequent managerial changes often seen at bigger clubs, including Manchester United, while others urged calm and a measured approach to the next appointment.
In the short term, the club will want stability and immediate results to stop the slide.
For now, Sheffield United must regroup. The search for a permanent manager will dominate headlines in the coming days, and supporters will watch closely to see whether bringing back Wilder can steady the ship.
