Troubled Sheff Wed appoint Pedersen as manager

Henrik Pedersen has been appointed as the club’s manager by Sheffield Wednesday in place of Danny Rohl, who left on Tuesday.

Since Dane Pedersen, 47, had previously worked as a German’s assistant at Hillsborough since he joined the club in October of this year, Rohl’s future was uncertain. He earlier this month signed a contract extension with the club.

His appointment is scheduled for Wednesday, which is a tumultuous summer.

The club has been placed under registration embargoes, and salaries have been delayed in May and June.

Owner Dejphon Chansiri wants to sell the club, but negotiations for a takeover have not progressed.

The wages for this month have been delayed once more, and on Wednesday, BBC Radio Sheffield reported that players were considering resigning from the game.

Rohl, who helped the team finish 12th overall last year, appeared to be leaving last month when he did not make another pre-season training. He eventually made his return in early July, but the team only agreed to do so on Tuesday.

Pedersen has previous managerial experience in both Germany and Norway as well as in his native Denmark.

He stated on the club website, “I’m incredibly, incredibly proud to be managing this wonderful football team.”

“The city felt like our home right away when I moved to Sheffield with my family.”

Is it going to be simple, he asked? No! Although we may be in “routine waters,” as a proud Dane, stormy seas don’t bother us as much. To weather the storm and reach calmer waters, you must adapt.

I ask that we “stick together,” to the fans. As we work to grow, we may need to be a little patient at times. We all care about Hillsborough and will do everything in our power to preserve it.
