Footage shows Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl welcoming the players back from pre-season

And for the German, who was recently ITV’s Euro 2024 pundit, it is his first pre-season as a manager.

Rohl was previously reported to be planning two pre-season camps for Sheffield Wednesday following their miraculous 20th place finish in the last round of the Championship.

Owner Dejphon Chansiri will be hoping to see his side achieve a much more comfortable finish next time around and he is certainly doing his bit so far.

After securing a new three-year contract for Rohl, the Owls brought in three new players, with Svante Ingelsson expected to be the fourth.

The club have now shared a clip of Rohl welcoming first-team players back to pre-season training on Friday.

Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Rohl return for pre-season

Rohl is now back in the country after his pundit work in Germany and returned to the Middlewood training ground where he greeted his first team players.

In the video shared on Sheffield Wednesday’s official X account, the likes of Barry Bannan, Bailey Cadamarteri and Liam Palmer can all be seen alongside Rohl.

The Owls now have just over a month until their first league game of the 2024/25 season; a Championship clash against Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth Argyle on 11 August.

Next week, Sheffield Wednesday face non-league Alfreton Town in their opening pre-season game.

Main target for Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Rohl this summer

With the emotions and heartache of last season now in the past, Sheffield Wednesday, Rohl and the players can look forward to next season.

As well as signing new players in the transfer market and building a much stronger first team, the main aim for Rohl this summer will be to get his players fit.

We saw last season how intense and fast the style of play can be and Rohl will need to make sure his players are fit and up to the task next time around.

Having more squad depth will certainly help in this regard, although how many players the club can realistically sign this summer remains to be seen.

But it’s certainly been a good start to the off-season, with plenty of reason to believe Sheffield Wednesday can enjoy a much better campaign than last round.
