The Owls’ 20th place result in the 2023/24 Championship campaign has sparked speculation over Danny Rohl’s future with Sheffield Wednesday.
Dejphon Chansiri, owner of Sheffield Wednesday, is reportedly negotiating a new deal for Rohl.
Rohl is expected to meet with Chansiri later this week, following amicable talks between the two after the season ended.
Rohl is reportedly interested in other Championship clubs, including Sunderland and Hull City.
Both clubs appear to be more focused on other goals. Rohl’s current contract with Sheffield Wednesday expires next summer, making fans eager for him to sign a new agreement.
Alan Biggs’ verdict on Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday
Rohl is hot property in the Championship, and with good reason; his turnaround at Sheffield Wednesday was one of the best in the league’s history.The Owls were the first team in Championship history to avoid relegation after going winless in their first 13 games, defeating Sunderland 2-0 on the season’s last day.
Biggs stated that he would be astonished if Rohl does not stay this summer.
Sheffield Wednesday is Rohl’s first managerial job after coaching at Red Bull Leipzig, Southampton, Bayern Munich, and the German national team.
His Wednesday record is presently 16 wins in 38 games, with 16 losses.
Sheffield Wednesday is currently confronting one important enemy.
Regardless of which teams show interest in Rohl or what happens with his future, Wednesday has one constant threat when it comes to Rohl: time.
The longer Rohl goes without a contract, the greater the possibility that Sheffield Wednesday will lose him for nothing next summer.
There is a rumoured £10 million compensation package in place for Rohl and his backroom crew in S6, with a further £5 million for Rohl alone. If Rohl’s future does not lie in Sheffield, the Owls will want some money to show for it.
So obtaining a new deal for Rohl is critical for Sheffield Wednesday, possibly even more important than maintaining Rohl himself.
The Owls need to provide some financial certainty for his future and minimise the chance of losing him for free in a year.
But, so far, everything appears to be going well, with Rohl and Chansiri visibly in discussions and no evidence of any stumbling blocks.
