Quadruple-winning season: Sheffield Wednesday managerial flop finds success in Asian job

Former Sheffield Wednesday manager Xisco Munoz has achieved significant domestic success after taking charge of Malaysian powerhouse Johor DT in the summer of 2025. In his debut campaign, Munoz guided the club to a domestic quadruple by securing the Malaysian Super League, Charity Shield, Malaysian Cup, and FA Cup. JDT have sustained their strong form into the 2026/27 campaign, remaining unbeaten across their first 15 fixtures with 14 wins and one draw.

The Spanish coach had previously endured a difficult 12-game spell at Sheffield Wednesday in 2023, claiming just one victory before being dismissed. The writer notes that while Johor DT dominate domestically, Sheffield Wednesday supporters are unlikely to regret Munoz's departure as the Owls seek a new manager following relegation to League One.
