As speculation over Danny Rohl’s future mounts, Sheffield Wednesday star Josh Windass has hailed him as the best manager he’s ever worked with.

Sheffield Wednesday face an uncertain summer in more ways than one. There’s a possibility the Owls could go into next season with new owners and a new manager.

Danny Rohl has created a ‘messy’ situation at Hillsborough after very publicly talking about his desire for a new challenge.

However, the German coach is under contract, and while Rohl may be keen to return to his homeland, Wednesday are not about to relieve him of his duties.

Still, whether he leaves or not, and whether he burns those bridges with the Owls fans, there’s no denying Rohl is a quality manager. And now, Josh Windass has explained why.

What Josh Windass said about Danny Rohl

Speaking on the Open Goal podcast, Windass hailed the Sheffield Wednesday manager as the best coach he’s had the pleasure of working with, and went into detail about what it’s like behind the scenes in S6.

Windass said: “Top class. Best I’ve worked with, tactically, by a mile… it’s unlike anything I’ve ever seen, to be honest.

“He’ll do a match plan, showing us what positions we should be in for mid-third pressing, building up from goal kicks etc.

“And then on the Monday, he’ll get those images up and compare them and if you didn’t follow the match plan he’ll ask you why. I’ve got a lot of freedom to play… but it’s within a structure.”

Windass suggested some of his teammates might not be as keen on the heavily detailed and analytical approach Rohl takes, but he can’t get enough of it.

He added: “Sometimes the meetings go on a bit long and some of the lads might switch off, but I love it; I’m just learning all the time.”

Will Danny Rohl leave Sheffield Wednesday?

The Danny Rohl situation is causing a lot of issues at Sheffield Wednesday right now, with fans very unhappy with his comments and actions of late.

Rohl’s cryptic comments have made way for far more explicit talk of Premier League and Champions League ambitions, and we are led to believe the 36-year-old has options available to him in Germany.

The problem is Sheffield Wednesday are not going to sack Rohl, so unless he decides to walk away or another club pays his compensation fee he will not be going anywhere.

It’s unlikely we see Rohl in the dugout at Hillsborough in August, but you never know in football.
