‘Leicester clear for cut-price Danny Rohl move after Sheffield Wednesday talks’
Leicester City could be set to secure Danny Rohl on a cut-price deal amid the ongoing chaos at his current club Sheffield Wednesday.
On Friday (27 June), Leicester sacked manager Ruud van Nistelrooy after the former Manchester United striker failed to keep them in the Premier League last season
It leaves the Foxes without a permanent boss, with just over a month remaining until the start of the new Championship campaign.
Rohl has emerged as a potential candidate to take over at the King Power Stadium, with Sean Dyche also in the mix to be appointed.
Leicester could seal bargain Rohl move
Sheffield Wednesday are in the midst of major financial issues, and there are rumours that Rohl wants to leave after a fall-out with owner Dejphon Chansiri.
Leicester did have concerns over the cost of the Wednesday manager, as due to the fact that he is under contract, they will be forced to pay compensation to secure the 36-year-old’s signature.
However according to Sky Sports, due to the current situation at Hillsborough, the fee needed to secure Rohl has halved following negotiations between club and manager.
As a result, it would only set the Foxes back £1million to bring the German to the King Power Stadium.
Leicester must get appointment right
Football Insider Verdict
After Enzo Maresca left the Foxes to join Chelsea, there is no doubt that the hierarchy at the King Power have made two very poor managerial appointments.
Steve Cooper lasted just 12 games at the start of last season, and the former Nottingham Forest boss was sacked with the club sitting 16th in the Premier League.
It got even worse under Van Nistelrooy, as Leicester confirmed their second top-flight relegation in three years, which ultimately meant the Dutchman lost his job.
As the Foxes prepare for another season back in the Championship, it is vital they have a top manager to guide them back to the Premier League.
Rohl has proved at Sheffield Wednesday that he has all the tools to be able to perform at a bigger club, and away from the chaos and controversy at Hillsborough, he could establish himself as one of the division’s very best.
