Ammon News - Sheffield Wednesday have parted company with manager Danny Rohl by mutual consent less than two weeks before the start of the season, the Championship club said on Tuesday.

German Rohl, 36, took charge of Wednesday in October 2023 and helped the Yorkshire side avoid relegation from the second tier. He guided them to a 12th-place finish last season.

"Sheffield Wednesday would like to thank Danny and his backroom team for their services and wish them well for the future," the club said in a statement.

The English Football League (EFL) put Wednesday under transfer restrictions and charged the club last month over unpaid player wages. Owner Dejphon Chansiri was also charged for causing the club to be in breach of EFL regulations.

Media reports said Chansiri was looking to sell the Hillsborough-based club.

Wednesday will kick off their Championship campaign on August 10 at relegated Leicester City. Reuters
