Sheffield Wednesday are gearing up for pre-season camp, and the man to take charge ahead of Danny Rohl has been named.
Amid all of the disaster unfolding in S6, Sheffield Wednesday are gearing up for a pre-season training camp.
Sheffield Wednesday’s preparations for the 2025/26 Championship season have been significantly hampered by off-the-field concerns, with Dejphon Chansiri continuing to struggle to pay players and staff.
Chansiri has been the centre of ridicule in the press, as many staff at the club have their future in doubt.
To make matters worse regarding pre-season preparation, Danny Rohl has continued to forge an exit from the club, leaving one man in charge of Sheffield Wednesday’s training camp at St George’s Park.

Sheffield Wednesday will start their pre-season camp at St George’s Park today (July 7), where they will continue preparations ahead of the 2025/26 Championship season.
As reported by The Star, it is expected that Andy Holdsworth will step in as Danny Rohl’s successor for the training camp. Holdsworth has overseen Sheffield Wednesday’s U21 side most recently and will step up to the task of first-team management alongside youth coach Giles Coke and Academy goalkeeping coach Ben Ledger.
The training camp will take place across six days, with Sheffield Wednesday moving from the makeshift facilities of the SWFCCP Jubilee Sports Club, where the Owls have been housed due to the Middlewood training ground not being ready.

From the outside, the current situation at the club has left Sheffield Wednesday looking disjointed regarding their pre-season plans and whether they will be best prepared for the season ahead.
Henrik Pedersen initially took training at Sheffield Wednesday, but that commitment has once again been handed down to Andy Holdsworth, a coach with experience in youth coaching. However, the impact that the uncertainty surrounding pre-season can have on the players, whether it is their future or the club’s, cannot be underestimated.
Everything about the build-up to the campaign has not quite been up to its usual standards, and plenty of that falls upon the shoulders of Chansiri for not getting the managerial situation sorted.
Joe Crann best sums up the situation at the club, having written on X: “The managerial situation at Sheffield Wednesday should have been sorted out long ago – even if it meant swallowing some pride for the sake of the club. No manager, no first-team coaching staff, nothing in place for the season ahead.
“And a preseason camp starting tomorrow. So, so poor.”
