Sheffield Wednesday's Danny Rohl starts a new job this summer - could it be good news for the Owls?
Rohl held initial talks with chairman Dejphon Chansiri about his future at the end of an outstanding first season in management led the Owls to Championship safety. The Thai businessman will attempt to persuade the 35-year-old that his future lies at Hillsborough, and perhaps to sign a new contract.
Rohl made it clear in the latter stages of last season that he would drive a hard bargain, seeking assurances that he will get the support he feels he needs on and off the field to drive the club forward.

Rohl was on Germany's coaching staff at the last World Cup, and has also coached Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and Southampton. He took his first managerial post when he inherited a Wednesday team which had made a record-breakingly bad start to the season in October's international break.
He will join a punditry team featuring ITV regulars Roy Keane, Ian Wright, Karen Carney, and Eni Aluko.
