Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan has delivered a stunning endorsement of Danny Rohl, labelling the German manager as 'the best coach I've ever worked with' amid growing speculation linking him with the Rangers job.
The experienced Scottish midfielder, who has seen numerous managers come and go during his lengthy career, didn't hold back in his praise for the transformative impact Rohl has had at Hillsborough.
'He's Changed Everything' - Bannan's Glowing Testimonial
'He's the best coach I've worked with, by a mile,' Bannan told the Daily Mail. 'Tactically, he's on another level to anyone I've seen. The way he prepares us for games, the detail he goes into - it's incredible.'
The 34-year-old playmaker, who has made over 350 appearances for the Owls, revealed how Rohl's methods have revolutionised the Championship club's approach:
- Advanced tactical analysis and game preparation
- Individualised player development plans
- Modern training techniques and recovery protocols
- Clear communication and strategic vision
Rangers' Managerial Hunt Takes Dramatic Turn
Bannan's comments come at a crucial time as Rangers intensify their search for a permanent manager following Philippe Clement's departure. The Ibrox hierarchy are understood to be seriously considering Rohl as a prime candidate to lead the Glasgow giants next season.
'What he's done at Sheffield Wednesday is remarkable,' Bannan continued. 'When he came in, we were struggling, but he's turned everything around. The players would run through brick walls for him.'
From Bundesland to Britain: Rohl's Rising Stock
The 35-year-old German coach, who previously worked as an assistant at Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig and with the German national team, has seen his reputation soar since taking charge at Sheffield Wednesday in October.
His ability to implement sophisticated tactical systems while maintaining strong player relationships has made him one of the most sought-after young managers in British football.
With Rangers preparing for a crucial season ahead, Bannan's emphatic endorsement could prove influential in the Scottish club's decision-making process as they seek a manager capable of challenging Celtic's dominance.
