Sunderland have an interest in Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl while Will Still and an unnamed Belgian manager are also on the radar, as per i News.
Sunderland are on the hunt for a permanent manager ahead of the summer. Mike Dodds is in charge on an interim basis until the end of the season after Michael Beale’s exit, but a long-term role seems unlikely for the current stand-in.
After the failure of the Beale appointment and underwhelming 2023/24 campaign, the Black Cats will be determined to get this right. Dodds has said a number of names are on the shortlist as they weigh up their options.
Now, i News has shed some light on some of the candidates on the radar.
Stade Reims boss Will Still – who was targeted after Tony Mowbray’s exit – remains a figure of interest. An unnamed Belgian manager is also one under consideration, but the most eye-catching name in the new report is Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl.
The 34-year-old replaced Xisco Munoz at Hillsborough in October and has been a revelation since. He’s revived their hopes of staying in the Championship and has become a hugely popular figure among the Owls faithful.
Rohl has had a big impact at Sheffield Wednesday in just his first senior managerial role. He’s worked well in a tough environment, taking on an underperforming squad and turning their fortunes around all while working under the lead of volatile ownership.
