SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY have appointed former Southampton, RB Leipzig and Bayern Munich assistant Danny Röhl as their new head coach - just months after interviewing him for the position in the close season.
Röhl, 34, was spoken to by the Owls hierarchy, who opted for the Championship experience of Xisco Munoz instead. Now the Hillsborough outfit, who were impressed by the German in his summer interviews, have turned to the young coach, second time around, after axing Munoz on October 4. It is his first senior appointment as a ‘number one’. A rookie at second-tier level, Röhl takes over a side who have endured a desperate start to the season, the worst ever in the history of the club.
The Spaniard subsequently distanced himself from any potential switch - as did club legend Lee Bullen, currently managing Scottish outfit Ayr United. Neil Warnock was another intriguing option that was mooted, but there was no contact made between the club and the 74-year-old, who has previously led Yorkshire trio Huddersfield Town, Rotherham United and Middlesbrough amid memorable acts of relegation escapology.
