Danny Rohl’s Future in Doubt as Werder Bremen Opportunity Falls Through
The future of Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl remains uncertain after his hopes of joining Werder Bremen fell through, according to reports from German publication Bild, as cited by Caught Offside. The 35-year-old had been linked with several top-level coaching positions following the conclusion of the 2024/25 season, including at RB Leipzig and Southampton.
Rohl had held discussions with Werder Bremen, but the German club has now narrowed its options to Horst Steffen and Lukas Kwasniok, leaving Rohl back on the market. The former Bayern Munich and Southampton assistant had spoken positively about taking the step up to a Champions League-level club, telling RB Live: "If both sides are convinced that you’re the right coach, then there’s nothing wrong with taking the step… I’ve been involved in football for 16 years… that’s a package that gives me a lot of confidence."
Despite his ambitions, Rohl’s attempts to secure a move away from Sheffield Wednesday have been met with rejection. RB Leipzig, the home of Arsenal and Manchester United target Xavi Simons, opted to focus elsewhere, and Sport Witness reported that talks with Bremen also "failed to achieve their goal." According to Caught Offside, Rohl had also been touted as a potential replacement for Oliver Glasner at Crystal Palace.
Rohl’s situation has been complicated by his public pursuit of a step up from Sheffield Wednesday. The manager’s bold move may ultimately leave him with egg on his face if the rejections continue. With Southampton now out of reach, attention may soon return to Hillsborough – though how long he remains there could depend on which clubs come calling this summer.
As reported by Caught Offside, Rohl’s preference for a move within England may still be his best route forward. The manager’s future will likely be the subject of much speculation over the coming weeks, with several clubs potentially eyeing him up as a candidate for their managerial positions.
The developments in Rohl’s managerial career will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike. As Caught Offside previously reported, Rohl had been linked with several top-level coaching positions, and his next move is likely to have a significant impact on the football landscape. With his future uncertain, one thing is clear: Danny Rohl’s managerial career is one to watch in the coming months.
In related news, Sheffield Wednesday fans will be anxiously waiting to see if their manager stays or goes. Only time will tell what the future holds for Danny Rohl, but Caught Offside will be keeping a close eye on developments.
