Former Arsenal striker Ian Wright sends message to Danny Rohl ahead of Wednesday’s return to Sheffield

Danny Rohl is set to return to Sheffield Wednesday ahead of pre-season training following his spell at Euro 2024.

The German boss continued their championship survival with a trip to the Euro tournament.

Rohl was appointed as one of ITV’s pundits for the competition in Germany, covering five games in the opening week.

The 35-year-old made his first appearance ahead of Belgium v ​​Slovakia on Monday, before covering Croatia v Albania, Slovenia v Serbia, Poland v Austria and Turkey v Portugal.

His live time ended last night after Portugal’s 3-0 win in Dortmund.

Ian Wright shows his support for Danny Rohl

Ahead of the clash, Rohl took to Instagram to thank his teammates and supporters for a “fabulous” week.

He wrote: “One more game and my fabulous week at ITV Sport is over. Thank you very much for the warm welcome. It was a pleasure to meet you and to be part of Euro 2024. I am looking forward to my last match with you.”

Rohl shared a photo of himself in the ITV studio with Joleon Lescott, Karen Carney, Christina Unkel and Laura Woods, to which Ian Wright responded.

The former Arsenal striker has been working with Rohl regularly this week, with the pair winning praise from supporters on social media when they joked about the weather in Sheffield.

Ahead of his final match, Wright replied: “It was a pleasure Danny. All the best for the upcoming season.”

Rohl will now return to Yorkshire ahead of pre-season tests on June 28, before Sheffield Wednesday head to St George’s Park for a summer training camp, followed by another camp back in Germany.

The Owls boss will likely have won more fans from his outlook on TV, while there is no doubt that a number of clubs will be watching him.

For now, though, Rohl clearly has no plans to go anywhere, and instead managed to catch some new experiences and freshen up before jumping right back into coaching.

His love of football is very clear though and his tactical awareness was made very evident on ITV, showing what a good manager Wednesday have on their hands.
