Bradford City set to appoint Michael Duff

Bradford City are set to appoint former Wycombe Wanderers boss Michael Duff as their new manager. The 48-year-old is expected to replace Graham Alexander at Valley Parade after Alexander departed the club to take over at Championship side Preston North End.

Duff, who has previously managed Cheltenham Town, Barnsley, Swansea City, and Huddersfield Town, was dismissed by Wycombe last month after a year in charge. The Bantams currently sit second in League One, level on 16 points with leaders Plymouth Argyle.

The club views Duff as the right candidate to maintain the high-energy, 3-4-3 tactical setup implemented by Alexander, which helped the team climb from League Two to the higher reaches of the third tier. The former Northern Ireland international previously guided Cheltenham to promotion from League Two early in his managerial career.
