Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl returns to the UK this week after spending time on holiday with his family following the end of the season.
Rohl took a break after the 2023/24 season concluded with Sheffield Wednesday narrowly avoiding relegation, finishing in 20th place in the Championship.
Rohl and his team have received significant praise for their turnaround, and the Owls are now eager to extend his stay at the club. While his current contract runs until the end of the 2024/25 season, owner Dejphon Chansiri has reportedly held positive talks with Rohl about extending his contract.
Additionally, it’s been revealed that Rohl has a compensation package worth up to £10 million in place at Hillsborough, should another club attempt to hire him and his backroom team.
Both Sunderland and Hull City have been linked with the German coach ahead of the summer.
Danny Rohl contract latest at Sheffield Wednesday
An emerging report from The Star has revealed that Rohl is due back in the country later this week where he’ll meet with Chansiri once again.
There’s no indication as to the length of the proposed contract that Chansiri wants Rohl to sign at Sheffield Wednesday.
Though expect it to be a long-term deal given his stunning turnaround with the club and the fact that several clubs have already earmarked him as a potential managerial candidate ahead of the summer.
Danny Rohl needs one thing before committing Sheffield Wednesday future
The Star’s report makes it clear that Rohl’s is willing to stay on at Sheffield Wednesday, which will be great news for Chansiri and of course the fans.
But, as has seemed the case for a long time now, Chansiri not only needs to put money on the table for Rohl, but for the club as well.
Rohl will want to see ambition from Chansiri before committing his future. He’ll likely want to know what he has to work with in the transfer market this summer, although Rohl may understand that this could be another summer where frees and loans are the focus.
That’s if Chansiri spends big on Rohl’s contract, and on the training ground improvements and on securing futures of some of the club’s out of contract players as well.
Either way, though, this summer is one that could hold a lot of potential for Sheffield Wednesday, who finally have a manager who they can build a team and a future around.
