Carlton Palmer, a former midfielder for Sheffield Wednesday, has shared his thoughts on the interest that the 34-year-old manager from Wednesday is receiving from Sunderland. Palmer believes that the manager’s accomplishments in the second tier have caught the attention of other clubs, including Sunderland, who are currently without a manager for the upcoming 2024/25 season. Sunderland recently sacked both Tony Mowbray and Michael Beale during this season, with Mike Dodds currently serving as the interim head coach. However, it’s expected that Dodds will be replaced in that role in the summer.
According to reports from The i, Sunderland is interested in the Wednesday boss as well as an unnamed Belgian target. Palmer’s comments suggest that the young manager’s performance has garnered significant interest from clubs like Sunderland, highlighting his potential and impact in the footballing world.
Carlton Palmer on Danny Röhl’s links to the Sunderland job
Speaking to Football League World, Palmer said that he has been very impressed by the job that the German boss has been able to do, and he can see him leaving before the start of next season, if he isn’t given the tools to succeed.
Palmer said to FLW: “I’ve said this several times, Danny Röhl has done a fantastic job after coming into Wednesday. I think he will keep them up. He has galvanised the club, he’s got the players playing for him, and I really do feel that he will keep them up. I thought that they were dead and buried, and the job that he has done has been brilliant.
“Röhl has already spoken about the things that need to be put in place to move the club forward, whether it be the training ground, the dressing room, Hillsborough. If these things are put in place, and then he’s not given the tools to strengthen the side in the way that he would like, then I think he and his backroom staff will be well coveted and well sought after.
“He will need to be backed by the owner if they want to keep him, and I’ve already heard one or two rumblings about that. So it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Röhl were to keep Wednesday up, and then move on to pastures new.”
Danny Röhl would be a smart appointment for Sunderland
The whole recruitment ethos of the Black Cats, at least on the playing side, is about bringing in youthful talented players. This caused frustration for the likes of Mowbray, who wanted to expand their search to look for some more experienced players when he was in charge, but Kyril Louis-Dreyfus and Kristjaan Speakman have firmly stood by their approach.
Results haven’t lived up to pre-season expectations, but they seem set to stick to their guns about how they want the club to be run. That would naturally lean towards someone like Röhl being an obvious candidate. He’s a young, talented coach who has shown that he can maximise the output of his players. That’s what Sunderland need, but the potential lack of control over transfers may come as a red flag to the German coach.
