Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl reiterated the Owls know the decision he has made on his future after his side’s season finale at Watford.

Josh Windass scored his 53rd goal for the Owls in a 1-1 draw with the Hornets, a game fans have been left to fear may have been Rohl’s last at the helm.

He has been linked with Southampton and Leicester City, as well as RB Leipzig in his native Germany.

“My picture is clear,” said Rohl. “The club knows my picture. And to continue, some ways, I think it’s important that for everyone it’s clear in which direction it goes.

“I cannot say more about this. This is then also the responsibility from the club, in which direction and what we announce. But my picture is very clear.

“If in the end you are 12th then you deserve this. For me it’s more about the development. When I took over we were bottom of the table. This season we were never involved in relegation. The cup is more half full.”
