Sheffield Wednesday are facing a turbulent period as reports confirm that their highly regarded manager, Danny Rohl, is in discussions to part ways with the club. The news, first reported by The Star late on Wednesday night, marks a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding the 36-year-old German manager’s future at Hillsborough.
Rohl, who has been lauded for his remarkable work with the Owls, is reportedly eager to leave following a series of off-field issues that have plunged the club into chaos. Sheffield Wednesday, currently under a three-window transfer embargo for failing to pay players, have been labeled the Championship’s “crisis club.”

The combination of unpaid wages, a strained relationship with owner Dejphon Chansiri, and uncertainty over the club’s future has fueled Rohl’s desire to seek new opportunities.
Since taking charge in October 2023, Rohl has transformed Sheffield Wednesday’s fortunes. Inheriting a team at the bottom of the Championship table, he orchestrated a miraculous survival in the 2023-24 season and guided the Owls to a respectable 12th-place finish last term, despite operating on one of the division’s smallest budgets.
His tactical acumen and ability to galvanize the squad earned him widespread praise, making him one of Europe’s most sought-after young managers.
