Rohl began coaching at RB Leipzig in Germany, before moving to Southampton as Ralph Hasenhuttl's assistant in 2018.

In August 2019 he moved back to his homeland with Bayern Munich where he linked up with then boss Niko Kovac as his assistant.

Spells with the German national team then followed under Hansi Flick in a coaching role but after Flick was fired, Rohl departed too.

Sheffield Wednesday announced his appointment as manager in October 2023 with the Owls seven points adrift of safety.

Rohl performed miracles whilst in charge, winning 42.11% of his games in charge, helping Wednesday secure survival from the Championship.

Rohl has become popular with watchers of ITV's coverage due to his honesty and tactical know-how.

Having risen through the game as a young coach, his understanding of situations has helped bring real life analysis to our screens.

He recently signed a new deal to keep him at Hillsborough beyond the summer and it is believed Sunderland made an approach to sign him just a few weeks ago.

“I am delighted to extend my contract with Sheffield Wednesday," he told swfc.co.uk recently. "This is a fantastic club that has taken me to heart and I feel exactly the same way.

“It was never in my mind to be anywhere else but Hillsborough. I feel at home here, the fans have been incredible, they have shown myself and my staff nothing but kindness since the first day.

“I would like to thank the chairman for giving me this opportunity and now we are excited to look forward and can plan ahead together for the new season."
