Sheffield Wednesday remain without a manager after sacking Xisco Munoz a week ago. But with the international break upon us, there’s time for the club to find a new boss.
Sheffield Wednesday have been managerless for seven days now.
The Owls have been linked with a handful of names, but it seems like the club has a front-runner in German coach Danny Rohl.
Reporter Joe Crann says that Rohl to Sheffield Wednesday is looking increasingly likely and that both parties are keen to make the move happen, but he’s also insisted that the deal is not yet done.
Elsewhere, another former Watford boss in Oscar Garcia has been linked with the Hillsborough vacancy.
He’s a bit more experienced than Munoz having had spells with the likes of Brighton, RB Salzburg, and Olympiacos, but the 50-year-old has since ruled himself out of contention for the Wednesday job.
And another name has also ruled himself out of contention; Lee Bullen.
The former Wednesday player and caretaker manager is a hugely popular figure among fans, and given the desperation of Sheffield Wednesday’s current situation, a no-nonsense name like Bullen may well be the perfect remedy.
But Ayr United boss Bullen shut down online speculation that he was in the running, saying (as quoted by The Star):
“If it’s on social media it must be true, isn’t it? That’s the way the world works nowadays, is it not? There’s no truth in it. I’m comfortable here, I’m happy here.”
Elsewhere, reports linking axed Rangers boss Michael Beale to Hillsborough have been played down by reporter Rob Staton, who said earlier this week that no contact has been made with thr 43-year-old.
Time is running out for Wednesday to get a manager in during this month’s international break, with another crunch match vs fellow struggles Watford coming up later this month.
