Huddersfield have so far brought in highly-rated Joe Low from Wycombe, along with Sean Roughan, Marcus Harness and Ryan Ledson.
Grant told the club website: "I am thrilled to welcome Marc, Paul, and Jonathan to Huddersfield Town – three exceptional professionals who join us as Assistant Coaches.
"Their diverse backgrounds, dedication, and commitment to excellence will be invaluable to us as we continue to grow and build something special at this club.
"Each brings a unique outlook and energy that aligns with our values and future aspirations."
Huddersfield have suffered an alarming slide after dropping out of the Premier League in 2018.
Carlos Corberan almost led the club back to the Prem in 2022 through the playoffs.
But the club fought relegation from the Championship for multiple seasons before dropping to League One in 2024.
They had been expected to mount a strong push for promotion last term.
Duff led his side on an impressive 16-game unbeaten run midway through the campaign.
But the Terriers lacked bite where it mattered, with their 58 goals the lowest of any team in the top half.

Iga Swiatek fights back to reach Wimbledon third round
The 24-year-old – a five-time major winner, having also claimed the 2022 US Open title – was in danger of seeing her comparatively woeful SW19 record continue after blowing a 4-1 lead to drop the opening set. But she responded impressively in the Centre Court sunshine to prevail 5-7 6-2 6-1 in two hours and 25 minutes. Iga Swiatek wins R2 matches. The No.8 seed recovers from going a set down to defeat Caty McNally 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 and continue her journey at SW19 👊#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 3, 2025 Reigning champion Barbora Krejcikova and 2022 winner Elena Rybakina also progressed to round three on day four of the Championships. World number four Swiatek was Wimbledon girls' champion in 2018 but has only a single quarter-final appearance at the senior level of the tournament on an otherwise-impressive CV. With the women's draw wide open following the elimination of five of the top 10 seeds, including last year's runner-up Jasmine Paolini and current French Open champion Coco Gauff, the clay-court specialist was in serious danger of becoming the latest scalp. American McNally, who had a career-high ranking of 54 prior to recent injury issues and beat Britain's Jodie Burrage in round one, stunned her rival by winning six of seven consecutive games to snatch the first set. Yet the 23-year-old was victorious in only three more as Pole Swiatek marched on to a meeting with former Australian Open finalist Danielle Collins after finishing with an ace. Earlier, title holder Krejcikova overcame Caroline Dolehide 6-4 3-6 6-2 to set up a clash with 10th seeded American Emma Navarro, who wasted little time in dispatching Russian Veronika Kudermetova 6-1 6-2. World number 11 Rybakina defeated Maria Sakkari 6-3 6-1, while 18-year-old seventh-seed Mirra Andreeva beat Lucia Bronzetti 6-1 7-6 (7-4).

Russian pair Ekaterina Alexandrova and Liudmila Samsonova, seeded 18th and 19th respectively, each enjoyed straight-sets victories. Canadian lucky loser Victoria Mboko, 18, lost to Hailey Baptiste of the United States. World number 28 Sofia Kenin was the only female seed knocked out on Thursday, losing 6-1 7-6 (4) to Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.
