On 26 April, Owls youngster Will Trueman would win the prestigious LFE Championship Apprentice of the Year award.[23]

[edit]

On 8 May, Darren Moore would return to the dugout for the crucial end of season game against Derby County.[24] The game would see Wednesday, after 9 years in the Championship, relegated back to League One following a 3–3 draw in the must win game.[25] After the match, Chansiri confirmed that manager Darren Moore would remain manager for the following season.[26]

On 20 May, it was announced that Liam Dooley would be the new Chief Operating Officer for the club.[27]
