Preston North End’s manager is Paul Heckingbottom, who was appointed in August last year.
The former defender enjoyed a lengthy playing career representing the likes of Norwich City, Sheffield Wednesday, Bradford City and Darlington amongst others.
He first stepped into coaching at Barnsley, working his way through the ranks to become First Team Manager in 2016. During his two-year stint with the Tykes, he achieved promotion to the Championship and won the Football League Trophy.
Heckingbottom’s success brought about a move to Leeds United where he served as manager before being replaced by Marcelo Bielsa in June 2018.
Subsequently making the move to Scottish side Hibernian, Heckingbottom guided the club to a fifth-place finish in the Scottish Premiership before departing the Hibees the following campaign. He would enjoy further success at his following club, securing promotion to the Premier League with Sheffield United in his second full season at the helm.
The Yorkshire-born manager joined Preston North End two matches into the current campaign, and has since recorded 15 wins, 18 draws and 12 losses, achieving a win percentage of 33.33%.
