“SHOCKING REVELATION: Sky Sports Pundit Drops BOMBSHELL on Leicester City’s JAW-DROPPING Danny Rohl Move!”

Leicester City Step Up Search for New Manager Ahead of Championship Campaign

Following Leicester City’s relegation from the Premier League, Ruud van Nistelrooy officially parted ways with the club by mutual consent last week.

 

His exit had been delayed due to financial implications, as an earlier sacking might have negatively impacted the club’s most recent Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR) accounts.

 

Now, the focus shifts to appointing a new manager promptly, with the Foxes linked to several candidates, including former Burnley and Everton boss Sean Dyche and current Sheffield Wednesday head coach Danny Rohl.

 

A swift decision is essential to prevent further disruption to their pre-season preparations caused by van Nistelrooy’s late departure.

Reports suggest it would cost Leicester around £1 million to bring Rohl to the King Power Stadium from Hillsborough.

 

Although the original compensation fee was higher, negotiations with Sheffield Wednesday led to a reduction.

 

Despite the fee, many view Rohl as a potentially astute appointment given the impressive job he has done under difficult circumstances at Wednesday.

 

The 36-year-old German has earned plaudits for his work at Sheffield Wednesday, especially considering the club’s financial issues and limited resources.

 

Sky Sports pundit Lee Hendrie spoke to Football League World about Leicester’s reported interest in Rohl, expressing strong support for the move.

 

“I think Leicester should go for Danny Rohl,” Hendrie said. “He’s a very good manager and has shown he can succeed at this level with limited resources.

 

Leicester already have a strong squad, and with a few additions, I believe Rohl can lead them back to the Premier League.”

 

Rohl’s future at Sheffield Wednesday appears increasingly uncertain.

 

The club’s well-documented financial struggles under owner Dejphon Chansiri have created an unstable environment.

 

The Star reports that unpaid wages have triggered a clause allowing some players to issue 15-day notices to terminate their contracts if payments remain unsettled.

Compounding the issue, the Owls are banned from spending money on transfers until January 2027 due to repeated failures to pay wages—further eroding Rohl’s confidence in the club’s direction.

 

According to the Mail Online, Rohl has informed senior players that he plans to leave the club this summer after nearly two years in charge.

 

Previously linked with the Middlesbrough job before Rob Edwards’ appointment, Rohl is now among the top candidates for the Leicester vacancy.

 

While it is an unfortunate situation for Sheffield Wednesday, Leicester could benefit by securing one of the brightest young head coaches in the EFL as they aim to bounce straight back to the Premier League.
