Sheffield Wednesday are set to turn to assistant manager Henrik Pedersen if Danny Rohl jumps ship to Leicester City – but could face competition from Brentford.
Rohl is understood to be prominent on the Leicester shortlist after Ruud van Nistelrooy’s sacking on Friday, with Sean Dyche and Andy King also among the frontrunners for the post.
Even if Leicester opt against Rohl, the German is expected to leave Hillsborough this summer, with the Championship club in crisis over unpaid wages to players and staff.
Sources have indicated that in such an eventuality, managerial responsibilities for next season will quickly be passed to Pedersen, 47, the highly-rated Dane who was appointed Rohl’s No 2 in 2023 and was previously prominent under Red Bull’s footballing umbrella.
