Following their arrival, we've taken a closer look at Christoph and Andrew’s careers in football so far and the wealth of experience that they bring to the club.

David and Christoph's relationship began at German side TSG Weinheim, before they started working together at 1899 Hoffenheim. The 45-year-old followed Wagner to Borussia Dortmund II, as well as to Huddersfield Town in November 2015.

Bühler worked as Wagner's assistant during his time with the Terriers, being part of the promotion-winning side, and would reunite back in Germany after his appointment at FC Schalke 04 in 2019.
