Positive conversations between Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Rohl have taken place, which EFL analyst Carlton Palmer has described as “fantastic news”.
The Owls are certain to retain the German coach through the summer transfer market, according to The Star.
Before the season ended, the 35-year-old expressed uncertainty about his future at Hillsborough and said he was looking for reassurances on the team’s long-term goals.
Additionally, there have been rumors connecting him to Sunderland’s open head coach position.
It is currently thought, though, that he has been persuaded to pledge his future to staying with the Yorkshire team.
Carlton Palmer problems Danny Rohl’s decision to remain
If Rohl does commit his future to Sheffield Wednesday, Palmer says that’s great news.
He has issued a warning, saying the team cannot afford to experience the same turmoil behind closed doors as they did when Darren Moore left in the summer of last year.
Palmer told Football League World, “There are reports out of Sheffield Wednesday indicating that Danny Rohl and Dejphon Chansiri, the chairman of Sheffield Wednesday, have had constructive talks and the German coach is anticipated to stay in charge of Sheffield Wednesday.”
“The supporters will be thrilled to hear this news.
“The chaos that concluded the previous season, with the exhilaration of winning and Darren Moore being essentially fired, cannot happen again.
“As we enter a new season, we just cannot have a situation like that again.
Everything was completely chaotic, from the excitement of receiving a promotion to the disaster that occurred.
“Mr. Chansiri, the chairman, deserves recognition for his appointment of Danny Rohl and his backroom team, who successfully turned things around—it was truly remarkable.”
Palmer anticipates a difficult promotion.
Palmer has projected that, with the right support from Owls management, the German can lead the team back to the Premier League in less than two years.
“Last season, when I suggested that Sheffield Wednesday might make a back-to-back [promotion], people laughed at me. However, Ipswich has already made a back-to-back with many of the players who were in League One, so I did think that this was a real possibility,” he continued.
And if you consider how Sheffield Wednesday concluded the campaign, with six more victories, they would have qualified for the playoffs with their current record.
Thus, not much needs to happen for Sheffield Wednesday to have a shot at making the playoffs or possibly even better than that the next season.
However, this is huge news for the team and its followers.
“It has a great young manager there, but it needs some stability.”
“We need Sheffield Wednesday back in the Premier League, and I think Danny Rohl can get us there in the next two seasons if the chairman supports him,” the statement reads.
On the penultimate day of the season, Sheffield Wednesday defeated Sunderland 2-0 to secure a 20th-place finish in the Championship table and narrowly avoided relegation.
Keeping Rohl is significant Wednesday news.
Since taking over the Owls in October of last year, Rohl has been extremely impressive, surpassing everyone’s expectations when he joined the team.
Had Kieran McKenna not performed so admirably at Ipswich Town, he would have been a clear favorite to win Championship manager of the year.
The team will undoubtedly keep moving up the standings if he can secure adequate support in the trade market.
With Rohl as manager, Wednesday have a lot of promise, therefore it would be very concerning if he were to go because his goals were not met.
