Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl to leave the club
An agreement has been reached for the 36-year-old to depart for free and Rohl has informed players and staff of the situation.
Rohl is free to pursue other opportunities immediately, but has no fresh job lined up and is expected to take time to consider his next step in management.

Wednesday, who are run by owner Dejphon Chansiri, have had cashflow issues for some time.
The EFL has given Wednesday a three-window transfer ban for late payments to players, staff and HMRC, and has charged Chansiri for the late salary payments in March and May. The club has appealed against these sanctions.
The German has impressed during his time with Wednesday — his first managerial role — having joined the club following spells as an assistant with Bayern Munich and the Germany national team.
He was also previously at Southampton, working alongside Ralph Hasenhuttl between December 2018 and August 2019.
Rohl took charge of Sheffield Wednesday in October 2023 after the club had dismissed Xisco Munoz following their worst ever start to a season; the Championship side were destined for relegation, picking up just two points from their opening 10 league matches.
But Rohl won 15 of the remaining 36 games, drawing six, and guided them to a 20th-place finish on 53 points, three points above the drop zone.
Under Rohl this season, Wednesday are currently ninth in the Championship table, just five points off the play-off places.

Notre Dame quarterback Kenny Minchey makes a bold proclamation following Friday's practice
You love to see when your quarterback has extreme confidence, and Notre Dame's Kenny Minchey did exactly that on Friday following the second fall practice. When speaking with the media, the second-year player proclaimed that he believes that he's 'the best quarterback in the country,' as On3's Jack Soble posted on social media. It's a strong claim, but one that ultimately could come true. Minchey will have to beat out CJ Carr first, but having that kind of confidence will go a long way. Everything that we have seen from his during his limited playing time and in practices seem to suggest that he's got the skill set to lead the Notre Dame offense. He's got the running ability to make defenses account for his legs, and the throwing ability to pop the top off of a defense. It will be a very interesting battle between the two, as the competition continues this fall leading up to the season opener on the road against Miami. Head coach Marcus Freeman will have a very difficult decision to make, but Minchey is very confident in his abilities.

Official – Inter Milan Target Not In Atalanta Squad For Friendly Match Vs RB Leipzig
Ademola Lookman is not in the Atalanta squad for today's friendly match against RB Leipzig amid persistent transfer links with Inter Milan. The Nigerian is out as he reportedly recovers from a calf injury. However, the transfer saga is also in the background. I nerazzurri convocati per #RBLipsiaAtalanta 📝 Our squad list for tomorrow's game 📝#GoAtalantaGo ⚫🔵 — Atalanta B.C. (@Atalanta_BC) August 1, 2025 Inter Milan have received Atalanta's response to their second offer for forward Ademola Lookman. And it was not the one that they were hoping for. La Dea have rejected the Nerazzurri's offer of €45 million including add-ons. That is up from the €40 million bid that Inter had made a couple of weeks ago. This has left Inter frustrated. And it has also drawn the ire of Lookman himself, who has scrubbed mention of Atalanta from his Instagram account. Ademola Lookman Out Of Atalanta Squad Vs RB Leipzig BERGAMO, ITALY – MAY 12: Ademola Lookman of Atalanta warms up prior to the Serie A match between Atalanta and AS Roma at Gewiss Stadium on May 12, 2025 in Bergamo, Italy.

New La Dea coach Ivan Juric is leading the team out in a friendly match against RB Leipzig. However, Lookman is not part of the squad available to the Croatian tactician. However, this is not the result of Lookman being imminently up for sale. Rather, the 27-year-old is still recovering from a calf issue according to reports.

Roma agree Solbakken sale to Nordsjaelland
Roma have reportedly agreed the sale of Ola Solbakken to Nordsjaelland, two and a half years since his move from Bodo/Glimt. According to Il Tempo and the player has already flown out to Norway to complete and medical and the two clubs are exchanging documents this evening. This had been an ill-fated transfer to the Stadio Olimpico as a free agent from Bodo/Glimt in January 2023. Solbakken flopped for Roma EMPOLI, ITALY – MAY 4: Ola Solbakken of Empoli FC greets the fans after during the Serie A match between Empoli and SS Lazio at Stadio Carlo Castellani on May 4, 2025 in Empoli, Italy. (Photo by) Solbakken made only 15 competitive appearances in the Giallorossi jersey, where he scored one goal and provided two assists. He went out on a series of loan spells to Olympiacos in Greece, Japanese club Urawa Reds, and spent last season in Serie A with relegated Empoli. Under contract with Roma until June 2027, this will nonetheless represent a profit for them, as he had arrived for free. It is going to be a permanent transfer and therefore get him off the Roma books. This is a return home for the Norway international, who has 11 senior caps for his country, able to play on the right, left or in a more central attacking role.
