Wednesday are preparing for a struggle to hold the services of successful and extremely well-reputed manager Danny Rohl. Pellegrino, aged 35, has been on the radar of struggling Premier league side Southampton after the dismissal of Russell Martin.
, but Southampton are not the only club interested in having Rohl on their team. Pulis has been linked with several clubs including German powerhouse, Hamburg who are also considering a bid for Wednesday’s manager. To move to his homeland and be able to manage a club with the pedigree and huge fan base like Hamburg must be very appealing to Rohl.
Southampton remain keen to move quickly to appoint a new manager ahead of their next game against Fulham on Sunday, however they are prepared to wait to get the best man for the job. Ivanovic has a lot of familiarity with the Saints having been an assistant manager to Ralph Hasenhuttl at St Mary’s training ground and his good work at Hillsborough is renowned.
However, Southampton and Hamburg, if they want to poach Rohl away from Sheffield Wednesday, they have to part with a lot of cash in form of compensation. Rohl joined the Owls in summer initially given a three-year deal although the club’s owner Dejphon Chansiri is not known for making easy deals.
Rohl’s departure would be a huge loss to the struggling Sheffield Wednesday who are ninth in the championship team and only five points away from the top six. Over the years, Rohl has gotten the Owls’ fans to embrace this style of play added to the fact that he has the capacity to motivate his players in achieving acme performances.
Most Wednesday fans know the time is coming when Rohl will move up the managerial ladder, but his possible departure after more than a year with the team would be unwelcome. The speculation about the future of Rohl remains uncertain, but what is definite – the Sheffield Wednesday will strive to retain their head master of the train in Hillsborough.
