Sheffield Wednesday on verge of appointing ex-Southampton coach Danny Rohl as new manager
The German coach has been connected to the Owls position for some time, and it now looks like he will be hired soon.
After Xisco Munoz was fired as Wednesday’s manager, he would take over as manager if a deal is done.
The Yorkshire Post understands there has been a lot of activity at Hillsborough in anticipation of Rohl’s arrival, meanwhile The Star understand the Owls are set to recruit Rohl.
At 34, Rohl would be taking on his first role as a senior manager.
He does, however, boast an impressive coaching CV and has worked for the likes of Bayern Munich and the German national team.
Rohl also has experience of English football having assisted Ralph Hasenhuttl with managerial duties at Southampton.
Wednesday currently sit rock bottom of the Championship, having lost eight of their opening 11 league games.

‘A master stroke’ – Sheffield Wednesday fans react as club closes in on new manager
Sheffield Wednesday look set to appoint Danny Rohl as their next manager.
It’s been that way for a few days now. But The Star’s Joe Crann revealed last night that Sheffield Wednesday are now in the final stages
of the appointment, and that Rohl looks set to be in charge for the next game vs Watford.
It’s a first job in management for Rohl who’s previously worked as an assistant with the German national side, Southampton, and RB
Leipzig too, having worked under the likes of Ralph Hasenhuttl and Hansi Flick.
And it’s a tough inaugural gig for the 34-year-old; Wednesday sit in last place of the Championship table and are still winless after 11
games of the 2023/24 Championship season.
But Wednesday fans seem to be quietly confident that Rohl can not only guide the club to an unlikely survival push, but that he can
deliver results in the long run too.
