Sunderland chances of appointing ‘fantastic’ EFL boss this summer all but over

It is possible that one of the managers connected to Sunderland won’t be leaving this summer. As Sunderland prepares for a crucial summer, hiring a manager is at the top of their priority list.

In addition to adding the required depth to the first team roster, the Black Cats have been assigned perhaps their most significant management appointment of the Kyril Louis-Dreyfus period thus far. When it comes to the hierarchy, the fans are at a standstill, so Louis-Dreyfus and company must persuade them of their goals and capacities and appoint the ideal management.

Rene Maric is the new manager connected to Sunderland on the list. Prior to the summer, the vacant position at the Stadium of Light has been connected to the current manager of Bayern Munich U19s. Maric, 31, has coached teams like Borussia Dortmund and Leeds United in the past, and Sunderland may offer him his first managerial position this summer.

Although there haven’t been any recent mentions of Paul Heckingbottom, last week’s reports indicated that Will Still is still a person of interest on Wearside. This summer, Jermain Defoe has expressed desire in taking Michael Beale’s place once more, though it’s not believed that he will be given any thought.

What is the latest on Danny Rohl to Sunderland

Danny Rohl, the manager of Sheffield Wednesday, was also reportedly on Sunderland’s short list of potential managers before the summer arrived.

This season, Wednesday has drawn attention from both the #2 player for

Bayern Munich and the former #2 player for the German national team. He is the

youngest boss in the Football League at age 31. However, since taking over at

Hillsborough in October, he hasn’t displayed any symptoms of inexperience;

he has accumulated 50 points in the Championship and has the Owls poised

for safety going into their match against Sunderland on the last day. With

Plymouth Argyle tucked in between, Sheffield Wednesday is in 20th place in

the standings, three points ahead of Birmingham City in 22nd.

The Owls now look likely to stay in the division, which will all but kill

Sunderland’s chances of hiring him this summer.

Pundit Carlton Palmer previously described Rohl’s work at Sheffield Wednesday as ‘fantastic’.

Danny Rohl now likely to stay at Sheffield Wednesday

Rohl has built a huge connection with Sheffield Wednesday.

He’s adored by their fans and he’ll go down in club history if he manages to

keep them in the Championship, which now looks more likely than unlikely.

Additionally, if Wednesday wins the division, there is a greater likelihood that Rohl would remain with the team,

thereby eliminating any possibility that Sunderland could sign the German this

summer. But, there are other names being considered for Louis-Dreyfus and

company. Additionally, Rohl may look for a move later in the summer or during

the upcoming season if he doesn’t have the support he needs at Sheffield

Wednesday. But ideally Sunderland will have a capable manager in place by then.

It is possible that Sunderland and Rohl will meet paths in the future, but it does

not appear that this summer will be that time.
