Wednesday have confirmed this morning that manager Danny Rohl has left the club by mutual consent.

Coaching assistants Sascha Lense, Chris Powell, Neil Thompson and Sal Bibbo have also departed.

The Owls boss looked to have managed his last  Wednesday game in the 1-1 draw at Watford on the final day of last season.

He returned to his home country of Germany for the summer and was linked with several managerial vacancies during the close season, before returning a fortnight late to Wednesday’s pre-season training.

Assistant manager Henrik Pedersen had taken charge of training in the meantime and, with his contract extended at the same time, he had looked likely to be appointed manager… until Rohl’s reappearance at the training ground.

However, with less than a fortnight until the new season kicks off, the club have now confirmed Rohl’s exit.
