Sheffield Wednesday officially announced that head coach Danny Rohl has departed the Owls, after months of speculation over his future.

Less than two weeks before the 2025/26 Championship campaign kicks off, Sheffield Wednesday and head coach Danny Rohl have parted ways.

Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday future has been in doubt for several weeks, with the fans, players, and staff at Hillsborough finally seeing a decision made.

EFL Analysis exclusively revealed in mid-July that Rohl’s position was ‘untenable’ and that his time at Sheffield Wednesday was set to end.

Now, the long-awaited news has been made official by the Owls, after Rohl left Sheffield Wednesday officially after reaching an agreement with the club, and the departed Owls boss has released an emotional statement in the wake of his exit.

Danny Rohl releases statement after Sheffield Wednesday exit

Rohl’s exit from S6 is the latest departure in the summer exodus from Sheffield Wednesday amid the club’s ongoing financial crisis.

Josh Windass and Michael Smith terminated their contracts, with Windass joining Wrexham and Smith signing for Preston North End.

As well as the forward duo, Callum Paterson has joined MK Dons following his Owls exit, which came a day before Rohl’s exit was confirmed by Sheffield Wednesday.

The German, who joined Sheffield Wednesday in October 2023 in place of Xisco Munoz, shared a heartfelt statement on Instagram after his exit.

Rohl said: “A very special time is coming to an end and I am incredibly grateful for the experiences we have shared over 21 unforgettable months together.

“I thank our Chairman for his faith and giving me the opportunity to take my first steps as a manager. I thank my players for such a successful collaboration, your tireless commitment and for being great humans. I am proud of all of your personal resilience and efforts.

“Thanks to my staff, I’m finding it difficult to find the right words today. You were always there for me and the players too. You worked with so much passion, day after day, week after week. I am very proud to have had each of you with me over the last 21 months.

“From the first team evening to the last day, I could not have asked for better people to be alongside. I also want to highlight my gratitude specifically to my coaches Sascha Lense, Sal Bibbo, Chris Powell, Neil Thompson and Henrik Pedersen for the fantastic bond we created, it was a pleasure to experience this with all of you.

“Two images will always remain in my mind: the atmosphere in the Sunderland dressing room and the picture after the Watford game. We were a unit. I wish each of you only the best, good health, and a bright future. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

“Finally, I want to say thanks to the passionate supporters of this great football club. I will never forget all the amazing memories that we enjoyed together. You make this club such a special place to be a part of with the passion that you showed throughout and I will miss you all so much.

“This summer has been difficult and, in the end, the club and I came to the mutual decision to part ways. I understand the different thoughts and reactions to everything that has been going on during these past few months.

“I am extremely grateful to have had this opportunity. Even during the difficult moments and setbacks, I have always continued to feel the support from everyone. I take so many special moments away with me that will remain in my heart.

“We achieved a miracle together and that will always be something truly exceptional. I wish everyone associated with Wednesday my very best. I will never forget you. The Gaffer.”

Rohl joined the Owls in October 2023, and masterminded their survival from League One relegation in his first season in the dugout.

Last season, Rohl stabilised the Owls to a comfortable 12th-placed finish, after poor form in the second half of the season spurned any chances of a top-half finish.
