Danny Rohl and Ian Wright joke about a similarity between Sheffield Wednesday and Germany

The head coach has been named as one of ITV’s pundits for this summer’s EURO 2024 tournament, making his debut ahead of Belgium v ​​Slovakia earlier this week.

Rohl was on hand today for Croatia v Albania, working alongside Ian Wright and Karen Carney in Berlin for the Group B match.

The 35-year-old is clearly settling into his brief stint as a TV pundit, but it didn’t take him long to get a mention of life in Sheffield.

Asked by presenter Mark Pougatch if it always rains in Germany, Wright joked: “They should call it Ger-manchester, not Germany!”

As the team laughed, Rohl replied: “Yes, it feels like home, it’s just like Sheffield!”

The weather in Germany was the talk of the town, except for the games on the pitch, with the rain especially falling from the roof of Signal Iduna Park like a waterfall ahead of yesterday’s Turkey v Georgia.

The Owls boss should look for Euro stars

Rohl would actually be surprised to learn that the weather in England hasn’t been as bad as his home country this week, although that is probably far from his mind as he contemplates his return to Yorkshire.

The manager is certainly very busy behind the scenes when he’s not in the ITV studio, with the club keen to ‘wrap up’ third summer signing Yan Valery later this week.

They have also been linked with a number of players elsewhere and Rohl will certainly not want their time at the Euros to affect their transfer business.

He is likely to keep an eye on potential signings in Germany as well, with many potential players showcasing their performances this summer.
