Update on Danny Rohl’s contract situation at Sheffield Wednesday ahead of his return to the UK

Rohl and his players have since won huge plaudits for their second-leg turnaround, with the Owls now keen to extend Rohl’s stay at the club.

His current contract runs until the end of the 2024/25 season, although owner Dejphon Chansiri has reportedly held talks with Rohl over the possibility of extending that deal.

The pair held talks earlier this month which were apparently positive. Furthermore, it has since been revealed that Rohl has a compensation package at Hillsborough worth up to £10m should another club poach him and his backroom team from S6.

Both Sunderland and Hull City were linked with the German manager before the summer.

Danny Rohl’s latest signing at Sheffield Wednesday

An emerging report from The Star revealed that Rohl will return to the country later this week where he will meet Chansiri again.

The same report adds that Rohl is “keen to stay and take things to the next level” at Sheffield Wednesday.

There is no indication of the length of the proposed contract Chansiri wants Rohl to sign at Sheffield Wednesday.

Although expect it to be a long-term deal given his stunning turnaround with the club and the fact that several clubs have already earmarked him as a potential management candidate ahead of the summer.

Danny Rohl needs one thing before committing to the future of Sheffield Wednesday

The Star report makes it clear that Rohl’s willing to stay at Sheffield Wednesday, which will be great news for Chansiri and of course the fans.

But, as has long seemed to be the case, Chansiri doesn’t just have to put money on the table for Rohl, but for the club as well.

Rohl will want to see Chansiri’s ambition before committing his future. He will probably want to know what he has to work with in the transfer market this summer, although Rohl could understand that this could be another summer of frees and loans.

That’s if Chansiri spends big on Rohl’s contract and improving the training ground and securing the future of some of the club’s out-of-contract players.

Be that as it may, though, this summer is one that could hold huge potential for Sheffield Wednesday, who finally have a manager they can build a team and a future around.
