Your support makes all the difference.Sheffield Wednesday have announced the appointment of Katrien Meire as their new chief executive officer.
Meire previously held a similar role at Charlton, overseeing eight managerial changes during a turbulent four-year period at the League One club.
Meire told the Owls' official website: “This is a massive challenge at a massive club and I am looking forward to beginning this journey.
“The chairman has very exciting plans for the club in the short and long term and I bought into his vision immediately.”
Wednesday are currently looking for a new manager following the departure of Carlos Carvalhal last month.
They are currently sixteenth in the Championship table and were thumped 3-0 at home by league stragglers Burton Albion on New Year’s Day.
Goals by Tom Flanagan, Lloyd Dyer and Tom Naylor earned three points for the Brewers, who also missed a penalty when Joe Wildsmith saved from Lucas Akins with the game goalless.
It means Nigel Clough remains unbeaten as a manager in nine matches as the Brewers move to the brink of safety in the Sky Bet Championship.
