Rohl leaves Sheffield Wednesday with new Championship season approaching

Sheffield Wednesday need a new manager after Danny Rohl left the club by mutual consent.

Wednesday finished 12th in the Championship last season, despite a turbulent time off the pitch.

The highly-rated Rohl had been expected to leave the beleaguered club, and on Tuesday, his departure by mutual consent was made official.

It leaves Wednesday with less than two weeks to appoint a new boss ahead of their opening game of the season against Leicester City on August 10.

“A very special time is coming to an end, and I am incredibly grateful for the experiences we have shared over 21 unforgettable months together,” Rohl wrote on social media.

“This summer has been difficult and, in the end, the club and I came to the mutual decision to part ways.

“I understand the different thoughts and reactions to everything that has been going on during these past few months. I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity.

“Even during the difficult moments and setbacks, I have always continued to feel the support from everyone.

“I take so many special moments away with me that will remain in my heart. We achieved a miracle together and that will always be something truly exceptional. I wish everyone associated with Wednesday my very best. I will never forget you.”

Rohl became the EFL’s youngest manager when he was appointed by Wednesday in October 2023.

The 36-year-old leaves the Owls having won 34 of his 89 games (38.2%) in all competitions.
