Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl is preparing for an ITV gig with Roy Keane and Gary Neville

He took over in October when Wednesday went winless in the championship, eventually securing 20th place with 53 points on the board.

Since then, a number of clubs have been interested in Rohl; Sunderland are known admirers, while Hull City were also said to have an interest.

Talks are ongoing with Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri over a new contract for Rohl, with said talks apparently progressing positively.

However, this summer Rohl will take on a new role, working as a pundit at Euro 2020.

Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl prepares for Euro 2024 pundit gig

Euro 2024 starts on June 14 and will run until July 14, with Germany as the host nation this time.

And ITV have since announced their pundits for the tournament, with Germany native Rohl among the names set to appear on TV screens.

Former Germany No.2 Rohl will work alongside Roy Keane and Gary Neville during the tour, with Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou also among the pundits.

Journalist Alan Biggs commented on the matter, posting on X: “Shows the stature of the man – some credit that to a new first-time manager!”

The summer ahead for Danny Rohl and Sheffield Wednesday

While it’s certainly an interesting gig for Rohl, Sheffield Wednesday fans may be concerned about how it might impact on their summer plans.

There are a number of issues to address within the playing squad and indeed off the field as well, and possibly not having Rohl in the country could have an impact on those plans.

Or it could still suggest that Sheffield Wednesday have a number of plans in place and that those plans may come to fruition soon, meaning Rohl has time to undertake this work with ITV.

Either way, it’s good exposure for Rohl and Sheffield Wednesday, with his heroics in S6 coming up in conversation when Rohl hits our TV screens this summer.

It will also be interesting from a German perspective, given their poor showing at the last World Cup and Rohl’s previous connections at work with the national team.

England will take part in the Euros this summer, with Gareth Southgate’s Three Lions facing Serbia on June 16, Denmark on the 20th and Slovenia on the 25th.
