Imminent departure of Rohl likely shifts odds for next Sheffield Wednesday manager, with Pedersen emerging as frontrunner
Sheffield Wednesday are in a tight spot, needing a new boss to replace Danny Rohl who's seemingly on his way out.
But it's more than just a managerial change for the Owls. Unpaid wages and transfer embargoes have piled up, which the fans are relentless in pressuring the owner, Dejphon Chansiri, to sell.
You don't have to look far to see the influence an owner can have on a club—take Dai Yongge at Reading FC—and Sheffield Wednesday need a manager who can turn the tide and boost morale in these uncertain times.
The club was hit with multiple EFL breaches earlier this month, and Chansiri quickly issued an apology, but Rohl's absence on the first day of the season suggests a move is imminent.
Denmark's Henrik Pedersen, Sheffield Wednesday's assistant head coach, currently sits atop the betting odds to take the reins. Pedersen, who's managed teams like Vendsyssel FF, has a lengthy career, starting as a youth manager back in 1997. However, his success rate is fairly low with a win percentage of just 33.33% across four senior clubs.
But the football betting market remains open, and more candidates are likely to surface as negotiations continue with Pedersen as the front-runner. Others in contention include Luke Williams, Michael Carrick, Gary O'Neil, and Steve Cooper, among others.
It's important to remember, though, that betting markets can be subject to change, so keep an eye on those odds as the situation develops.
