Following their 5-0 thumping at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur, the Saints fired Russell Martin on Sunday, and they are currently searching for a new manager. Röhl has been named as someone that the team “admires.” Additionally, it has been claimed that it appears likely that a foreigner will be their next appointment.
It is not surprising that the Owls manager is being linked to the open position at St. Mary’s given his history with the team, but it is unclear if they would be prepared to pay whatever compensation is necessary once Röhl inked a new, long-term contract with Wednesday in the summer.
According to SkyBet, the German is currently at the top of the list with 1/1 odds, with former England manager Gareth Southgate slightly lower on the list and Carlos Corberan and Graham Potter thought to be the two other most likely to take over.
As of this writing, SkyBet has it thus way:
Danny Rohl – 1/1
Carlos Corberan – 7/1
Graham Potter – 7/1
David Moyes – 10/1
Kasper Hjulmand – 14/1
Lee Carsley – 14/1
Rafael Benitez – 14/1
Ralph Hasenhuttl – 14/1
Gareth Southgate – 16/1
Michael Carrick – 16/1
Wednesday fans will be hoping that the Saints look elsewhere for their new manager and leave the popular German where he is at Hillsborough, however for many there has long since been a reluctant acceptance that Röhl would eventually be on his way to the Premier League – quite possibly without the Owls.
