German coaches André Breitenreiter and David Wagner have faced challenges in English football, with both departing their respective clubs. However, another German, Danny Röhl, has chosen to extend his contract with Sheffield Wednesday until 2027. Röhl, along with his coaching staff, has decided to continue their journey with the Championship club, aiming to build on their recent miraculous escape from relegation.
Röhl, previously an assistant to Hansi Flick, took on his first head coaching role at Sheffield Wednesday last year. The club’s dismal start saw them winless after 13 games, with just three points to their name. Despite the daunting task, Röhl and his team, which includes coaches Sascha Lense and Henrik Pedersen, orchestrated a remarkable turnaround, securing 50 points in the remaining 35 matches and ultimately avoiding relegation with a crucial win over West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland.
Having played a pivotal role in Sheffield Wednesday’s survival, Röhl is now determined to push the club further and build upon their success. The German coach, who also manages transfers for the team, expressed his commitment to continuity and his strong bond with the club. As Sheffield Wednesday looks towards the future, Röhl’s extension signals the beginning of a new chapter in their English football journey.
