HIGHLIGHTS
- Sheffield Wednesday keen on renewing Danny Rohl’s contract after his success.
- Rohl’s turnaround led to safety for Owls, attracting interest from other clubs.
- Club aims to keep Rohl with commitment for future improvement.
Sheffield Wednesday are eager to sign a new deal with manager Danny Rohl following his outstanding performances this season.
According to the Sheffield Star, negotiations for a new arrangement are expected to resume later this month.
Rohl took over the Owls in October 2023, when the team was bottom of the Championship table, seven points from safety, and had only three points from their first 11 league games of the season.
However, Sheffield Wednesday rallied under the German, and an excellent turnaround in form resulted in their safety.
With a final-day win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light, the team finished the season 20th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone.

Rohl has already begun to garner a lot of interest from other sources after overseeing such a significant improvement in performance.
Both Sunderland and Hull City are reportedly interested in signing the 35-year-old.
Sheffield Wednesday are unlikely to let Rohl go easily.
Owls want to negotiate a new Danny Rohl contract.
Sheffield Wednesday are negotiating a new deal for Rohl at Hillsborough.
The Owls manager wants to see a commitment to strengthening the club’s standing now and in the future. Rohl recently emphasised the importance of a “clear strategy” for moving the club ahead.
Rohl allegedly plans to discuss a new deal for the management.
Sheffield Wednesday’s chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, has reportedly discussed extending Rohl’s contract.
Rohl’s conversations are scheduled to begin after he returns from his season-ending break later this month.
According to BBC Sheffield reporter Rob Staton, “anything is possible” about Rohl’s future.
The Sheffield Wednesday manager’s views on the club’s future orientation are expected to be “critical” in light of interest from other clubs.
As things stand, the German’s contract with Sheffield Wednesday has just over 12 months left, ensuring his future at Hillsborough until the conclusion of next season.
An intriguing update for Sheffield Wednesday.
This appears to be of considerable interest to those associated with the Yorkshire club.
Given where they were when he took over, Rohl accomplished an amazing job simply getting the Owls close to avoiding relegation, much alone achieving it.
With proper support and preparation during the summer, he has the potential to lead Sheffield Wednesday back to success.
According to what has been published here, the club is aware of the situation and will take action to keep Rohl at Hillsborough.
That would undoubtedly be a significant coup if they could pull it off, given what he has the potential to achieve in the dugout with Wednesday and the level of interest he is generating elsewhere.
Hull City are hunting for a replacement for Liam Rosenior following his dismissal.
However, losing him would be a significant blow, raising concerns about the possibility of another relegation struggle next season, without the manager who worked wonders to keep them out of one.
Indeed, if he were to go, people behind the scenes at the club would undoubtedly face increased scrutiny for allowing such an asset to slip through their fingers, especially when he appears to be eager to stay in the proper circumstances.
With all of that in mind, it becomes critical that Sheffield Wednesday negotiate a new deal for Rohl once these discussions about his future resume.
