Sheffield Wednesday are set to turn to assistant manager Henrik Pedersen if Danny Rohl jumps ship to Leicester City<\/a> \u2013 but could face competition from Brentford<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Rohl is understood to be prominent on the Leicester shortlist after Ruud van Nistelrooy\u2019s sacking on Friday, with Sean Dyche<\/a> and Andy King also among the frontrunners for the post.<\/p>\n

Even if Leicester opt against Rohl, the German is expected to leave Hillsborough this summer, with the Championship club<\/a> in crisis over unpaid wages to players and staff.<\/p>\n

Sources have indicated that in such an eventuality, managerial responsibilities for next season will quickly be passed to Pedersen, 47, the highly-rated Dane who was appointed Rohl\u2019s No 2 in 2023 and was previously prominent under Red Bull\u2019s footballing umbrella.<\/p>\n

It is understood that new Brentford boss Keith Andrews is also keen on adding Pedersen to his coaching staff.<\/p>\n

Rohl\u2019s future away from Wednesday has seemed certain since the end of last season, in which he secured a mid-table finish having initially saved the club from relegation after his appointment in the 2023-24 campaign. A barrier to his suitors is the significant compensation that would be owed to Wednesday, whose contract with Rohl runs until 2027.<\/p>\n

\"Wednesday <\/p>\n

Wednesday may face competition for Pedersen, with Brentford keen to add him to\u00a0new boss Keith Andrews’ backroom staff<\/p>\n

Speaking in May, the 36-year-old said: \u2018Personally, I had a fantastic time at Sheffield Wednesday. I\u2019ve made no secret of the fact that I\u2019d like to work at the highest possible level with the best players in the near future.<\/p>\n

\u2018The Bundesliga is, of course, a consideration. My situation in Sheffield is unofficially relatively clear. There\u2019s a clear agreement with the owner about how I envision my future. Unfortunately, I can\u2019t go into detail about that right now.\u2019<\/p>\n
