“We Don’t Need You Anymore — Go Away”: Sheffield Wednesday F.C. Management Fires Coach Danny Röhl After Heated Argument
April 29, 2025 – Hillsborough Stadium, Sheffield
In a dramatic turn of events, Sheffield Wednesday F.C. has officially parted ways with head coach Danny Röhl following what sources describe as a “heated and irreparable” confrontation with senior club management. The shock decision comes just days after a string of promising performances had rekindled hopes of a playoff push in the Championship.
According to multiple insiders close to the club, the conflict reportedly began during a post-match debrief on Saturday evening, escalating quickly as Röhl clashed with members of the board over player recruitment, tactical autonomy, and long-standing financial constraints. Eyewitnesses claim that at one point, a senior executive shouted: “We don’t need you anymore — go away!” prompting Röhl to leave the meeting in visible anger.
Club Chairman Dejphon Chansiri issued a brief, somewhat curt statement early Monday morning:
“We thank Danny Röhl for his efforts and professionalism during his tenure. The club is now moving in a different direction. We will provide updates on a replacement in due course.”
Röhl, 35, took over the Owls in late 2023 amid turmoil and relegation fears, becoming the youngest manager in the league at the time. His arrival brought renewed tactical discipline and a high-energy playing style, eventually lifting the team out of the drop zone and into mid-table security.
Fans have taken to social media expressing confusion and frustration over the decision. “He saved our season. This feels like betrayal,” tweeted @WednesdayTillIDie. Supporters’ groups have already announced plans for a protest outside Hillsborough later this week.
Röhl has not yet released a public statement, though those close to the German coach say he is “deeply disappointed” by the club’s decision and how it was handled.
As the Owls scramble to find a new leader before the end-of-season run-in, one thing is clear — the departure of Danny Röhl has sent shockwaves through S6, and questions about leadership and long-term vision now loom larger than ever.
