Sheffield Wednesday 'sound out ex-Dinamo Bucharest boss Cosmin Contra for manager as several other candidates pass on the role

Sheffield Wednesday have reportedly approached former Dinamo Bucharest manager Cosmin Contra as the latest candidate to coach the Owls.

Contra was in charge at Dinamo until December, having left the side for a short spell in 2017 to manage the Romania national team. He has also managed at Getafe, Alcorcon and Guangzhou R&F in China.

According to Sky Sports News, the 45-year-old becomes the latest name associated with the vacant Wednesday job. The club are yet to find a replacement for Tony Pulis, who was sacked in December after just 45 days and one win in 10 games in charge.
