The Owls job is one often highly sought after and, with plenty of time left for a turnaround, is expected to be again despite the dificult situation that they find themselves in.
Neil Warnock is a name that splits opinion in the Owls fanbase but is surely a prime footballing candidate given the fire-fighting jobs he has done at so many clubs down the years.
The Star understands that Nathan Jones is under consideration.
Let’s take a look at some of the out-of-work names that Wednesday could consider to get their season back on track.
5. Jesse Marsch
Again, a long-shot. Built his way through the Red Bull network and was most recently with Leeds United in the Premier League. May well have designs on bigger things. Photo: Stu Forster/Getty Images
6. Danny Röhl
He’s an interesting one - the 34-year-old German has worked at the highest level as assistant manager with Southampton, Bayern Munich and latterly Germany. Was interviewed for the job in the summer and is out of work. | Getty Images
7. Neil Warnock
It would be box office, wouldn’t it? Will split opinion due to his history with the Blades but in terms of a fire-fighter, there’s no candidate with a better record. Reported to be open to the idea of making Wednesday is 17th club. | Getty Images
8. Carlos Carvalhal
Another one that would divide opinion perhaps? A popular figure during his time with Wednesday, achieving two play-off campaigns. There is water under the bridge and he has had success since, most recently at Celta Vigo in Spain. Photo: Octavio Passos/Getty Images
