Publisher's Synopsis
Perennial stragglers in the Championshio, the introduction of David Wagner as head coach in November 2015 was the catalyst for change Huddersfield Town was in desperate need of. Hired from Broussia Dortmund's second team, Wagner set about changing the culture of the club, their playing identity and ideology, capturing the imagination of the entire town as he did so. In his first full season in charge, Wagner lead Huddersfield to the top flight of English football for the first time in over 40 years, finishing 5th in the league before coming through the rigours of the play-offs. 'Underdog' looks in to every kick, decision, win and loss that went in to gaining promotion - from losing to Wigan Athletic at home to Christopher Schindler's crowning penalty at Wembley, via several failed attempts from other clubs to poach David Wagner away from the Terriers.
