Danny Rohl Parts Ways with Sheffield Wednesday as Head Coach

Sheffield Wednesday have mutually parted ways with head coach Danny Rohl, just weeks before the commencement of the new EFL Championship season. This comes after growing hostility among the players, coaches, and the owners. He led Sheffield Wednesday to the EFL Championship and has played a significant role in the club's meteoric rise in the last few years. His departure reflects the turmoil within the club and how this severely affects the balance of the team.

Why did Danny Rohl leave Sheffield Wednesday?

Danny Rohl had a great time at Sheffield Wednesday. However, his untimely exit from the club comes after a rift with players. Many senior players have accused Danny Rohl of not taking his role seriously after he was allegedly missing from the camp during the pre-season tour. In his absence, assistant coach Henrik Pederson took command. There has also been financial stress at Sheffield, with many players complaining about unpaid wages. Despite turmoil, Rohl has been widely regarded as turning around the fortunes of the club and helping them to remain relevant in a competitive league like the EFL Championship. Under Rohl, the club managed to finish 12th last season amidst transfer bans, financial crisis, and other issues.

Who Will Replace Danny Rohl at Sheffield?

Henrik Pederson, the assistant coach, has taken over as the interim coach after Rohl's departure. He will most likely continue as the head coach amidst financial turmoil in the club. However, there are other coaches like Fabio Pecchia, who is also linked with Sheffield Wednesday for the role. Former Oxford United coach Des Buckingham can also emerge as a good option to replace Rohl. Danny Rohl, on the other hand, may be heading towards Leicester after they have been relegated back to the Championship. Southampton FC also showed interest in signing Rohl, while the German also appears to be under the radar of his local club, Leipzig.
