“I’ve already heard” – Pundit makes Danny Rohl claim as Sunderland eye Sheffield Wednesday boss
Sheffield Wednesday are currently learning that Danny Röhl has solidified his status as one of the top-tier young coaches in the EFL. Coaches with that kind of reputation are bound to draw interest from higher levels of the league.
The Owls appeared poised to return to League One following their lone season back in the Championship when he arrived at Hillsborough.
After a start to the season that shocked everyone, Xisco Munoz was fired shortly after taking over for former manager Darren Moore.
Röhl’s introduction was a risky move.
The 34-year-old had never managed a team before; his sole coaching roles before moving to Yorkshire were as the German national team’s assistant manager and as a backroom staff member at Southampton and Bayern Munich.
Undoubtedly, the risk has paid off. With eight games remaining, Wednesday is just a win away from safety while still being in the bottom three.
Championship Table (As it stands March 26th) | ||||
Team | P | GD | Pts | |
17 | Blackburn Rovers | 38 | -13 | 42 |
18 | Plymouth Argyle | 38 | -8 | 41 |
19 | Stoke City | 38 | -18 | 41 |
20 | QPR | 38 | -14 | 40 |
21 | Birmingham City | 38 | -17 | 39 |
22 | Huddersfield Town | 38 | -19 | 39 |
23 | Sheffield Wednesday | 38 | -31 | 38 |
24 | Rotherham United | 38 | -47 | 20 |
Although the season’s results have fallen short of pre-season projections, they are determined to maintain their vision for the organization’s management. That would logically point to Röhl or someone like as an obvious contender. He is a young, gifted coach who has demonstrated the ability to maximize his players’ potential. That’s what Sunderland needs, although the German coach might be concerned about the possible lack of control over moves.
