Rohl began coaching at RB Leipzig in Germany before moving to Southampton as Ralph Hasenhuttl’s assistant in 2018.

In August 2019, he moved back to his homeland with Bayern Munich, where he linked up with then-boss Niko Kovac as an assistant.

Then came spells with the German national team under Hansi Flick in a coaching role, but after Flick was sacked, Rohl also left.

Sheffield Wednesday announced his appointment as manager in October 2023, with the Owls seven points from safety.

Rohl has worked wonders while in charge, winning 42.11% of his games in charge, helping Wednesday to secure championship survival.

Rohl has become popular with those watching ITV’s coverage due to his honesty and tactical knowledge.

Having progressed through the game as a young coach, his understanding of situations has helped bring real-life analysis to our screens.

He recently signed a new deal to keep him at Hillsborough beyond the summer and Sunderland are believed to have made an approach to sign him just weeks ago.

“I am delighted to extend my contract with Sheffield Wednesday,” he told swfc.co.uk recently. “This is a fantastic club that has taken me to heart and I feel exactly the same way.

“It was never in my mind to be anywhere other than Hillsborough. I feel at home here, the fans have been incredible, they have shown me and my staff nothing but kindness from day one.

“I would like to thank the chairman for giving me this opportunity and now we are excited to look forward and plan the new season together.”
