There could be a massive change in management in the Championship with Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Rohl now the number one candidate for Southampton a premier league side. Sources indicate that Southampton believes that Rohl is suitable for the position of manager and needs to be hired “as soon as possible” after the dismissal of Russell Martin whose team suffered a humiliating 5-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.
Wednesday want to cling to Rohl who pens down new deal in the summer while the Germanman is reportedly eyeing to manage a team in the English Premier league. Rohl possible departure could be a major lose for Wednesday, especially since the team, that is currently challenging for top spot with Derby County, is in the Championship.
The news comes at the right time when during the current season and the Championship faced a sort of managerial carousel. Coventry City is seeking a new manager after sacking Mark Robins while Hull City joined the bandwagon by sacking Andy Dawson recently, Oxford United has sacked Karl Robinson and Cardiff City sacked Mick McCarthy.
Derby County who won a 2-1 victory over Wednesday on the 11th of November at Pride Park might be confronted with a Rohl-less Wednesday team for the Christmas Day duel at hillsborough. Owls should try and keep hold of their manager but it appears more and more almost certain that Rohl will be tempted by the prospect of managing a Premier League side.
Yet, yet another turn is added by the fact that RB Salzburg who have fired Pep Lijnders also expressing their interest in having Rohl on board. Looking at the situation in the current prospect, there is only one thing that is evident; the Championship season will be full of surprises.
