Leicester City are considering Danny Rohl as a potential replacement option for Ruud Van Nistelrooy.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The near-seven-month tenure that the Dutchman had in charge of the Foxes was officially brought to a close on Friday when it was announced that Van Nistelrooy was set to depart the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n

Unable to save Leicester<\/a> from relegation, and overseeing a side that only scored four goals in the Premier League in the first four months of 2025, the 48-year-old will undoubtedly go down as one of the club’s worst ever bosses.<\/p>\n

Now the hunt is on for his replacement, and they may have timed their decision perfectly as one of their candidates is edging closer towards leaving his current club.<\/p>\n

Wednesday<\/a> boss Rohl is being looked at by City, according to The Star<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This comes off the back of a report from The Telegraph<\/a> which suggested that the 36-year-old German was likely to pop up on their radar but hadn’t yet. On the contrary, the Sheffield outlet has said that Rohl is already an option that Leicester<\/a> are monitoring.<\/p>\n

It was also said, by The Telegraph, that former Everton boss Sean Dyche isn’t being considered for the role.<\/p>\n

The former Bayern Munich and German national team assistant is edging closer to leaving Hillsborough after months of trying to find his way out of the club.<\/p>\n

He informed the club’s hierarchy of his intent to leave in April<\/a>, but struggled to get any suitors to commit to him because of the multi-million pound compensation clause in his contract, which still has a couple of years left on it.<\/p>\n

This may soon be void, though, as he and Wednesday<\/a> are in talks over a deal that would see him leave the club in some form, as per The Star<\/a>. This could then alleviate any financial worries around bringing in Rohl.<\/p>\n

He has done a fantastic job in his near-90-game run with the club. After a horrendous start to their return to the Championship, Wednesday<\/a> appointed the first-time boss to help save them from the drop, which he miraculously did thanks to a staggering effort by him and his players in the second-half of the 2023\/24 campaign.<\/p>\n

Rohl then helped to elevate the club to mid-table in the previous term, but that looks set to be his only full one in charge of the Owls.<\/p>\n\n

Danny Rohl would be a great acquisition for Leicester<\/p>\n

There’s a reason why so many teams in this country and in his homeland of Germany have considered pursuing Rohl this summer. At such a tender age for a manager, he has already demonstrated that he is one of the top coaches in the English second tier.<\/p>\n

Rohl is also used to working in less than perfect circumstances, which will be the case for whoever succeeds Van Nistelrooy. Leicester<\/a> have a potential points deduction heading their way, plus the threat of many of their top players leaving this summer.<\/p>\n
