The Owls have finally confirmed the appointment of their new manager with German coach Röhl succeeding Xisco Munoz in the Hillsborough hotseat
Sheffield Wednesday have confirmed the appointment of Danny Röhl as the club’s new manager. The 34-year-old succeeds Xisco Munoz and becomes Wednesday’s 39th permanent head coach.
This represents his first post as manager having served his apprenticeship as assistant coach with Southampton, RB Leipzig, Bayern Munich and the German national team. He has worked under some high-profile managers in the past, such as Ralph Hasenhüttl and Hansi Flick and has completed his Pro Licence.
Röhl takes over a Wednesday side in dire need of an uplift. The team are bottom of the Championship after 11 games and are yet to win, with just three points on the board. His first game in charge is the trip to Watford, after the international break, on October 21.
Röhl offered an insight into how his teams could potentially be set up, when in an interview earlier this year he said: “I think it’s much worse when you don’t make a decision and leave everything open so as not to make any mistakes, than when a mistake happens.
“For example, I want a full-back to defend higher up the field once in a while rather than wait passively in his position for the whole match and never get into the game. Consistency and bold decisions are important to me.”
