His assistant Henrik Pedersen has been overseeing the first-team’s preparations for the new season.
The Owls squad is currently being put through their paces at St. George’s Park.
It comes after Pedersen extended his contract at Hillsborough earlier this week.
Rohl is also now set to remain at the club ahead of the upcoming campaign.
Wednesday begin the new Championship season away to Leicester on August 10.
The Foxes had been one of the club’s linked with appointing Rohl as their new boss following Ruud van Nistelrooy’s exit.
However, former Queens Park Rangers manager Marti Cifuentes is instead set to take charge at the King Power Stadium.
As for Wednesday, they were hit with a third transfer embargo by the EFL last week for non-payment of transfer fees.
It follows previous sanctions for failing to pay their players on time and late HMRC payments.
The club were banned from paying fees for new players for three transfer windows on June 18.

As a result of their unpaid wages, a mass exodus of players could soon follow.
Those not paid in full are free to hand in a 15-day notice of their contract termination as the club’s woes continue.
Meanwhile, seven players have already left the club following the expiry of their contracts at the end of June.
The transfer embargoes are set to impact on Rohl’s business in the window this summer.
His U-turn will see the German head into a second full season at the helm.
Rohl was appointed by Wednesday in October 2023 before guiding the club to Championship survival.
