Sheffield Wednesday make decision over their next manager if Danny Rohl takes over at Leicester - but face competition from Premier League club
Sheffield Wednesday are set to turn to assistant manager Henrik Pedersen if Danny Rohl jumps ship to Leicester City – but could face competition from Brentford. Rohl is understood to be prominent on the Leicester shortlist after Ruud van Nistelrooy's sacking on Friday, with Sean Dyche and Andy King also among the frontrunners for the post. Even if Leicester opt against Rohl, the German is expected to leave Hillsborough this summer, with the Championship club in crisis over unpaid wages to players and staff. Sources have indicated that in such an eventuality, managerial responsibilities for next season will quickly be passed to Pedersen, 47, the highly-rated Dane who was appointed Rohl's No 2 in 2023 and was previously prominent under Red Bull's footballing umbrella. It is understood that new Brentford boss Keith Andrews is also keen on adding Pedersen to his coaching staff. Rohl's future away from Wednesday has seemed certain since the end of last season, in which he secured a mid-table finish having initially saved the club from relegation after his appointment in the 2023-24 campaign. A barrier to his suitors is the significant compensation that would be owed to Wednesday, whose contract with Rohl runs until 2027. Speaking in May, the 36-year-old said: 'Personally, I had a fantastic time at Sheffield Wednesday. I've made no secret of the fact that I'd like to work at the highest possible level with the best players in the near future. 'The Bundesliga is, of course, a consideration. My situation in Sheffield is unofficially relatively clear. There's a clear agreement with the owner about how I envision my future. Unfortunately, I can't go into detail about that right now.'

Danny Rohl in talks to leave Sheffield Wednesday as club crisis worsens
Manager Danny Rohl is on the verge of leaving Sheffield Wednesday and is speaking to the club about his potential exit. The 36-year-old German has not returned to pre-season training with the Wednesday squad, as he seeks to negotiate a way out of his contract, in order to further his ambitions elsewhere. Having been linked with clubs such as Leicester City, Southampton and Middlesbrough, there may be a future for him in England but it's a return to Germany that excites him. Rohl has steadied the ship at Hillsborough, lifting them out of the relegation zone in his first season in charge and up to mid table at the end of last season but the club is far from being out of trouble. Staff were not paid their wages on time in both March and last month and there is a possibility that June could be the same. As a result of those March and May issues, the club has had spending restrictions imposed for the next three transfer windows, meaning they won't be able to buy or loan players in deals where there's a fee involved. They were also subjected to a transfer embargo until wages were paid in full. On top of that, an upgrade to the facilities at the club's training ground at Middlewood Road have also been delayed. The club's owner, Dejphon Chansiri, recently rejected a £40m bid for the club from Florida-based property investor John Flanagan after communication issues left Chansiri doubting that Flanagan's consortium would be the right people to look after the interests of the club. Rohl recently spoke to German media outlet Bild about the situation and his desire to return to Germany. He said: 'If it were up to me, as soon as possible, 'The Bundesliga is obviously something special because I grew up with it. For me, it's always about working at the highest level. I want to compete against the best teams, with the best coaches.'
