Danny Rohl sets his Sheffield Wednesday ambition for the 2024/25 Championship season

The Owls looked doomed for much of the campaign. But Sheffield Wednesday under Rohl won their last three games of the season and ended the campaign with 53 points.

Hopes and expectations are high for next season after the club’s impressive turnaround under Rohl and the club’s equally impressive start to this summer’s transfer window.

On Friday, Sheffield Wednesday announced the signing of Svante Ingelsson from German outfit Hansa Rostock; he already becomes the Owls’ fourth signing of the summer transfer window.

Speaking about the return of the players to pre-season training, Rohl discussed the upcoming season in the Championship and his ambitions for the Owls in 2024/25.

Danny Rohl outlines Sheffield Wednesday’s ambition in 2024/25

Speaking about the players returning to pre-season training, Rohl was asked by the club what they want to achieve with the squad next season.

He emphasizes a continuation of the fast and intense style of play, saying: “I think when we look forward, we want to play great football.

“We want to attack. We want to be brave. We want to make brave decisions. We want to entertain our fans. And in the end we want to get the right results.

“If you follow our path and play our game, with our intensity, then I think the wins and success will come, of course.

“But what we can’t do is related to our last season. It wasn’t easy and we have to continue, and we have to push, and it means you have to do more than last season, to improve and develop as a club.”

The most important thing for Sheffield Wednesday and Danny Rohl

Firstly, Sheffield Wednesday need to get a much more comfortable league finish in the next round.

But for Rohl, perhaps the most important thing apart from Championship safety is embedding a philosophy and a mantra at Sheffield Wednesday.

He installed a distinct and aggressive style of play during his first half season in charge and will no doubt be looking to continue that next season.

His comments above suggest that Rohl is more keen to continue to imprint that philosophy rather than make predictions about where the Owls might finish in the Championship next season.

The players signed so far suggest that Rohl is putting together a very technical squad and that he wants to add more quality and pedigree to his squad.

Rohl also appears to be trying to reduce the average age of his squad a bit, with Sheffield Wednesday boasting the third-oldest squad in the Championship last round.

But one thing is certain, and that is that next season looks set to be much more positive for Sheffield Wednesday than the last.
