Sheffield Wednesday Boss Danny Rohl Contender for Leicester Job
Craig Jones 
Danny Rohl is emerging as a strong contender for the Leicester City managerial vacancy, with plenty of talk and speculation, plus his position in the lists with some of the best betting sites, who generally have him as second favourite for the job.
Rohl’s rise in English football has been swift and impressive, earning admiration from pundits and fans alike. With Leicester seeking a progressive, tactically astute manager to start fresh after relegation, Rohl’s seems a perfect fit.
Throw in the mess that Sheffield Wednesday are in, and this only add further fuel to the fire.
Foxes Hunt for New Boss
Moving on from Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Leicester are on the hunt for a new manager to take them forward.
Back in the Championship, promotion is going to be the aim for The Foxes, as they look to bounce back to the Premier League at the first opportunity.
Of course, that's easier said than done, although the appointment of a good manager is certainly going to get fans more optimistic about their chances.
As pre-season begins and focus turns to the new campaign, look out for plenty of football betting offers for the new season from the biggest brands, as the excitement continues.
Danny Rohl's Sheffield Wednesday Exit Likely
Danny Rohl’s stock has risen sharply after a remarkable spell at Sheffield Wednesday, which saw The Owls punch above their weight in the second tier.
Taking charge when the club sat bottom of the Championship, the 35-year-old German injected belief and a fearless mentality into the Owls, pulling off a dramatic escape from relegation in his first season.
He backed that up last season, Wednesday at one point were in playoff contention, but couldn't kick on. That wasn't on Rohl though, they were surrounded by sides spending big on fees and wages, he had his team competing where they shouldn't have been.
Danny Rohl Second Favourite for Leicester Job
Bookmakers have quickly responded to the growing interest in Rohl, placing him as the second favourite to become the next permanent Leicester City manager.
He's as short as 5/4 with Parimatch to be their next manager, the only man ahead of him is Sean Dyche, who is priced up at 4/7 with the same firm.
Michael Carrick is the 4/1 third favourite, he's recently left Middlesbrough, and apart from these three, there's not much in terms of movement or rumours doing the rounds.
Here at Free Bets, we'll make sure to keep our eye on this market, and update with the latest odds as they happen.
Something that has been spoken about in the past, and was a stumbling block for Southampton, was the fee needed to take Rohl away from Sheffield Wednesday.
But with the club in a complete mess financially, Wednesday are surely interested in trying to do a deal, bringing in some much needed cash to the club, which could prevent administration. Coupling this with his talent is why we're seeing him so high in the football betting markets for this particular job.
Is Danny Rohl a Good Fit for Leicester?
Appointing Danny Rohl could be a smart move for Leicester.
Still young by managerial standards, Rohl has experience as an assistant at Bayern Munich and with the German national team, offering a continental perspective that could suit Leicester’s evolving recruitment model.
His tactical intelligence, high-pressing style, and ability to galvanise a struggling squad align with what the Foxes desperately need.
Rohl has proven himself at this level, earned a lot of suitors, and this could be the perfect next step for him, before eventually the Premier League, whether that's with Leicester or not.
