Wycombe Sack Head Coach Michael Duff After Poor Start to Season

The club have dismissed Duff and first-team coach Alex Morris as they prepare to name an interim head coach while addressing results and a separate FA misconduct charge

Overview

  • Wycombe Wanderers confirmed they have parted company with head coach Michael Duff and first-team coach Alex Morris in a club statement, and said an interim head coach will be appointed shortly.
  • The decision follows a run of poor form that left Wycombe with three points from five League One games and early exits from the Carabao Cup and EFL Trophy.
  • A chaotic 3-3 home draw with MK Dons, in which Wycombe surrendered a 2-0 lead, was the final match before the club moved to change its coaching team.
  • The move came shortly after the Football Association charged Duff with misconduct over an incident after Wycombe’s 2-1 loss to Sheffield Wednesday, a developing disciplinary matter the club now faces.
  • Duff leaves with a record of 20 wins, 13 draws and 19 defeats from 52 matches and his exit is the first confirmed managerial sacking reported so far in the 2026/27 Premier League/EFL season, a sign of early pressure on coaches and potential short-term disruption for players and supporters.
