The Owls have taken their time to find the right candidate, as they seek out a capable manager to help them push towards promotion this season. Here's who Sky Bet reckon are the current front-runners for the job...
5. Chris Coleman
Odds: 25/1. At one stage the firm favourite for the job, the ex-Wales manager's odds have continued to drift over the past few weeks. His last job was in the Chinese Super League. (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Photo: Nathan Stirk
6. Daniel Stendel
Odds: 25/1. He's a manager in high demand after excelling with Barnsley, but it looks like he's set to get the Huddersfield Town job instead. (Photo by George Wood/Getty Images) Photo: George Wood
7. Chris Hughton
Odds: 22/1. A significant number of Owls fans were keen on the ex-Brighton boss getting the job, but he's said to have turned it down a few weeks ago. (Photo by Mike Hewitt/Getty Images) Photo: Mike Hewitt
8. Sol Campbell
Odds: 18/1. After leaving Macclesfield Town last month, Campbell will be keen to find a new club and continue his impressive progress in management. (Photo by Jan Kruger/Getty Images) Photo: Jan Kruger
