The highly-rated Owls boss has been at the centre of speculation with regard to his future in the last weeks. End-of-season talks between the German coach and Wednesday chairman Dejphon Chansiri are understood to have been positive, with meetings held either side of the completion of their survival mission at Sunderland last weekend. The Star revealed earlier this week that the signing of a new contract is a possibility, with further discussions regarding the plans of the club set to take place...
Former Sheffield Wednesday star Carlton Palmer has issued his verdict on talk of Danny Rohl remaining at Hillsborough in the long-term. Rohl has been a revelation for the Owls, arriving in October before going on to lead the club to safety despite taking over a team marooned in the Championship’s bottom two. Rohl has been linked with other Championship clubs who are looking for a manager, such as Hull City, who sacked Liam Rosenior on Tuesday in a surprise move, but there has since been news of...
Sheffield Wednesday can now enjoy their summer knowing they will return to Championship football next season. The Owls secured safety on the final day, and they did so after a superb run of form that spanned the final weeks of the season. While he will give credit aplenty to his players, head coach Danny Rohl deserves a huge amount of plaudits, arriving in October and going on to save the club from relegation. With that in mind, we have rounded up the Championship table based solely on results...
The 35-year-old German steered the Owls to a remarkable survival effort in the Championship, taking over a side winless in 10 matches back in October and securing safety. A final day win at Sunderland capped a a six-game unbeaten run and completed the mission on a dramatic day on which every other side in the battle also won. Posting on Instagram, Röhl wrote: “On May 4th 2024, we were able to make the impossible possible. After more than 6 months full of passion, commitment and togetherness, we...
It was inevitable that Danny Rohl would be fielding questions about his immediate future after securing another season in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday, against all odds. Wednesday already looked dead and buried when he came in to replace Xisco Munoz in October and even with a lift in results, it appeared on a number of occasions that the Owls had simply left themselves with too much to do and a return to League One appeared likely. However, Wednesday continued to bounce back, led by...
In matches Sheffield Wednesday have lost in his time at the club, he has cut a figure of dejection in post-match media engagements. After wins, he is a picture of joy. After he watched on as his players earned a 2-0 win at Sunderland to complete what started out as an incredibly unlikely great escape from Championship relegation, his body language was that of a figure spent. He was delighted, but exhausted. It has been something of an emotional rollercoaster. “I feel just tired today, honestly,”...
The Star has previously reported that discussions had taken place between Röhl and the Owls chairman, Dejphon Chansiri, about the way forward and the potential of a new contract at Hillsborough for the German, however he did take time away with his family to recover from a tiring debut campaign. Latest indications are that conversations between the two had been positive, with the Wednesday boss eager to stick around and take things to the next level with the club, and it would certainly come as...
The Owls lost 4-0 to Huddersfield back in February in what felt like a devastating defeat for Röhl’s outfit as they fell eight points adrift of safety in their race for Championship survival. For many supporters it seemed like a big nail in the coffin as they stared a return to League One in the face, but Bannan says that – though he wasn’t best pleased of course – the manager’s post-match teamtalk at The John Smith’s Stadium was inspiring. "His teamtalk after the game stands out,” he told the...
Under both Danny Röhl and last season’s manager, Darren Moore, a host of academy players were given first team debuts at the club, and this season Bailey Cadamarteri rapidly rose through the ranks from being an U21to a fully-fledged member of Röhl’s first team. It’s the sort of pathway that can be big for the emerging talent at a club, and with a big preseason ahead given the size of Wednesday’s squad as things stand, Wednesday’s youngsters know that the German isn’t afraid of using them if they...
Goals from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass earned a vital 2-0 win at Sunderland on a day all the relegation-threatened teams around Wednesday won. It capped a remarkable comeback achievement in coming back from the worst-ever start to a Championship season. Now plans start in earnest as the club looks ahead to next season. They come amid fan nervousness over the future of Röhl, who has spoken a number of times about the assurances he needs from club hierarchy to continue and ‘take Sheffield...
There was a surprise decision from Hull owner, Acun Ilicali, decided to part ways with the club’s manager, Liam Rosenior, following a campaign that saw them narrowly miss out on the play-off places, leaving the Tigers on the hunt for a new man at the helm for the 2024/25 campaign. Some reports started to do the rounds that Röhl had admirers at Hull on the back of his great escape with the Owls, however it’s unknown whether things ever went any further than them simply being impressed by the work...
As assistant manager to Hansi Flick, a 31-year-old Danny Röhl was a mastermind of the 2019/20 Bayern Munich side that won the Champions League to seal a remarkable treble, breezing through 19 wins in their final 20 Bundesliga matches to take the title by 13 points in a 34-match season. He told The Star last month that as the main man at Sheffield Wednesday, in his first managerial job, taking over a side in the position they were in, the securing of the Owls’ second tier status would outstrip...
