If Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl decides to stay on, someone else will sign a new deal.
This summer, Sheffield Wednesday owner Dejphon Chansiri hopes to extend manager Danny Rohl’s contract.
The German’s present contract expires at the end of the 2024–2025 campaign, thus it makes sense that Chansiri would want to extend it.
Positive reports of their conversations have surfaced. As of right now, negotiations are still going on and progressing well.
For Sheffield Wednesday supporters who like Rohl, this will be wonderful news, as the 35-year-old led the Owls to an incredible 20th place finish in the 2023–24 Championship.
Chris Powell, the first-team coach, will also be happy with this development as he may receive a new contract if Rohl’s is extended first.
Chris Powell might sign a new deal with Sheffield Wednesday.
Sheffield Wednesday “are expected to hand a new contract” to Powell “in the event of successful negotiations over a new contract” for Rohl, according to an emerging report from The Star.
Powell arrived at Hillsborough soon after Rohl came in during the 2023/24 season, having since become a well-liked figure among Sheffield Wednesday fans.

For Sheffield Wednesday right now, one thing is crucial.
Sheffield Wednesday has a lot of things to take care of this summer, and it appears that the team is at least starting to address some of the most important ones.
Rightfully so, a new contract for Rohl appears to be the top priority. He is currently the club’s most important asset and has the potential to build the groundwork for a far better future in S6.
However, the Owls also need continuity at this particular moment. Retaining Rohl, his backroom staff, and the star players from the 2023–2024 campaign might mean continuing the club’s present course.
Should Sheffield Wednesday continue their current season in the same manner as they did under Rohl, this
