Wycombe Wanderers Football Club is an English association football club, based in the town of High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire. The club was founded in 1887, and competes in League One during the 2025–26 season.
For the first 82 years of their existence, Wycombe Wanderers didn't employ a manager, with the team being selected by the captain at the time. James McCormick was the first coach to be appointed in 1951 but it wasn't until Brian Lee took the reins in 1969 that the club had a recognised manager.
Following the sacking of Gary Waddock, Gareth Ainsworth was appointed as Wycombe Wanderers's caretaker-manager on 24 September 2012. Since 2013, he has been Wycombe's permanent manager until February 2023. Former Wycombe Player Matt Bloomfield became Wycombe's manager around the same time as Gareth's departure and led Wycombe to a EFL Trophy Final and a strong campaign in 2024-25 until January 2025 when he left for Luton Town. Since September 2025, Wycombe now operate under a Head Coach system for the first time with former Sunderland Assistant Manager Mike Dodds however due to poor performance, he was sacked on 18 September 2025 and on the same day, hired former Huddersfield Town Manager Michael Duff.
