Alan Nixon has dismissed rumors linking Sheffield Wednesday’s coach Danny Rohl to Hull City, despite the latter’s interest in him. Rohl gained acclaim for steering Sheffield Wednesday away from relegation with an impressive unbeaten run towards the end of the season. His success has made him a beloved figure among the club’s supporters, who are eager to see him stay.
Although Sunderland had previously shown interest in Rohl, their pursuit has seemingly stalled after losing to Sheffield Wednesday on the final day of the campaign. Hull City emerged as another potential suitor for Rohl, especially after parting ways with Liam Rosenior. However, Alan Nixon’s comments suggest that Rohl is unlikely to join Hull City.
Nixon’s statement comes in the context of reports indicating that any club interested in Rohl would need to pay a substantial fee, around £15 million, to secure his services and those of his staff. This high fee makes it improbable for Championship clubs to afford Rohl, leading Hull to shift their focus to other coaching options, like Tim Walter.
Considering these developments, Rohl’s prospects of staying at Sheffield Wednesday appear promising, especially as Sunderland explores alternatives such as Will Still.
With Rohl’s strong bond with fans and success in keeping Sheffield Wednesday in the second tier, it seems likely he’ll stick around Hillsborough for another year. His standing at the club should also mean more investment from Chansiri for new transfers, promising an exciting second campaign under the German. A full pre-season and successful January window further indicate Rohl’s keen understanding of squad improvements.
