Danny Röhl has signed a new long-term contract at Sheffield Wednesday.
Röhl joined the Owls in October 2023 and managed to guide them to Championship safety on a tense final day of the season, during which they won 2-0 at Sunderland to guarantee their survival and a 20th-placed finish.
Addressing his decision to sign a new long-term contract amidst interest from rival clubs, Röhl commented: “I am delighted to extend my contract with Sheffield Wednesday. This is a fantastic club that has taken me to heart and I feel exactly the same way.
“It was never in my mind to be anywhere else but Hillsborough. I feel at home here, the fans have been incredible, they have shown myself and my staff nothing but kindness since the first day.
“I would like to thank the chairman for giving me this opportunity and now we are excited to look forward and can plan ahead together for the new season.”
Röhl however iterated that after going unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches, Sheffield Wednesday must now kick on next season to avoid another relegation scrap.
“The way we finished last season was amazing, so much hard work came to fruition but we do not stop here. We must continue to show the same effort levels and desire for the future, the chairman is ambitious, I am ambitious and our fantastic supporters are ambitious too.”
Chairman, Dejphon Chansiri added that he is “delighted” to retain Röhl as he credited the German for keeping the club up.
“The impact he made when he joined was immediate and was the foundation for preserving our place in the Championship.
“He has forged a special relationship with our supporters in the short space of time he has been here and now this journey continues.
“The hard work preparing for next season is already underway, it was important to secure Danny’s services on a well-deserved new contract and I am delighted this is now in place.”
