Sheffield Wednesday may as well start looking for a new manager now, as Danny Rohl has made it pretty clear he is heading for the exit this summer.

For a couple of months now, it has been fairly obvious that Danny Rohl at least has ideas about leaving Sheffield Wednesday for pastures new.

The young German coach has worked wonders at Hillsborough, to be fair. He steered the Owls to a miraculous escape from relegation last season, before taking them to 12th place this season.

However, with turbulence behind the scenes thanks to owner Dejphon Chansiri and a lack of resources available, Rohl has long been expected to leave the club this summer, and that now appears certain.

What Danny Rohl said about his future

Speaking to RB Live, a publication dedicated to Red Bull Leipzig, Rohl was very forthcoming discussing how he feels about the future, and the Sheffield Wednesday manager spoke of his excitement for what may happen this summer.

When asked about his ambitions, he said: “I always want to work with the best players and compete with the best coaches. The Bundesliga is, of course, a top choice. After all, I grew up with the Bundesliga. But the Premier League is also a dream. I’m currently very excited to see what happens this summer.”

It should come as no surprise that Rohl has aspirations to work elsewhere, and at a higher level. Indeed, Rohl’s body language has been telling in the latter stages of the season, and this is not the first time he has hinted at his departure.

Rohl has outlined his need for a clear strategy, something he doesn’t have at Sheffield Wednesday. More recently, he suggested he has made his ‘decision’ already and that the club are aware.

After the final game of the season, Rohl promised he ‘won’t forget’ Sheffield Wednesday, which surely implies he is on his way imminently.

What do Sheffield Wednesday do if Danny Rohl does leave?

Just this week, it emerged that Premier League clubs were eyeing up Rohl, with Crystal Palace and Fulham both considering him in case they need a new manager this summer.

Truth be told, it would be a bit of a nightmare for Sheffield Wednesday if Rohl does go. He has put brilliant building blocks in place and there was a lot of excitement around the direction the club was heading with the 36-year-old at the helm.

Still, there are plenty of promising options for managers who could replace Danny Rohl at Sheffield Wednesday, but it’s a decision that Chansiri will have to get absolutely spot on or face the wrath of the Owls faithful.
