Overview

  • Manager Danny Rohl and backroom coaches Sascha Lense, Chris Powell, Neil Thompson and Sal Bibbo left the club by mutual consent on July 29.
  • The English Football League has imposed a three-window transfer embargo after Sheffield Wednesday failed to pay wages on time, barring them from signing any players for fees until 2027.
  • Assistant coach Henrik Pedersen, who signed a new contract earlier this month, is the frontrunner to take over first-team duties.
  • Owner Dejphon Chansiri remains intent on finding a buyer as financial constraints deepen and relations with staff and fans strain.
  • Pre-season preparations have been thrown into disarray by staffing changes and the inability to recruit new players, putting the opening Championship fixture at risk.
