Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl has left the Championship club by mutual consent.
Rohl missed the first two weeks of pre-season training this month following a rift with owner Dejphon Chansiri and ongoing financial problems at the club.
Wednesday were issued with a third transfer embargo by the EFL in July, meaning they can’t sign any players involving a fee for this summer’s window and the next two in 2026, after a second successive month where the players’ wages were not paid.
The German coach has been linked with a host of other jobs – most recently, at Leicester City, who had him on their shortlist of candidates to replace Ruud Van Nistelrooy.
Leicester decided not to progress their interest in Rohl, partly because of the complexity of the financial situation and Rohl’s contractual circumstances at Hillsborough.
The 36-year-old was handed his first managerial role at Wednesday in October 2023 and steered the club away from relegation, having inherited a side that earned just two points from their first 10 games, before leading them to 12th place last season.
Sheffield Wednesday begin their season at Leicester City on Sunday August 10, live on Sky Sports.
