‘A significant aspect’ of his future goals, according to Sheffield Wednesday’s new manager Danny Röhl, are the players from the Owls academy.
After being introduced as Xisco’s replacement, the German made a point of attending the U21 game at Hillsborough, where he was given a rousing round of applause and witnessed four goals and a dramatic comeback.
In order to secure a 2-2 draw against top-of-the-table Sheffield United, Bailey Cadamarteri scored his tenth goal of the year and Luke Cook scored in stoppage time. There is a chance that they or one of their colleagues will receive additional opportunities in the first team moving forward.
Speaking on Friday, Röhl expressed his intention to remain “very linked” with the institution, which will be good news for students seeking to advance soon.
It’s definitely a crucial component, he told The Star. “Because we can add value to the club if we have a strong academy and can advance certain players to the first squad. That implies that we must be closely connected, and it is crucial for me to be aware of what is occurring with the U21s, in the academy, and elsewhere.
The 34-year-old started his first training session at Middlewood Road on Monday and has just a few days to share some of his insights with the team before their trip to Watford on Saturday.
