Rangers-linked Danny Rohl drops hint over next job
Today, it emerged the German is set to leave Sheffield Wednesday, despite his contract running until 2027.
As a result, this has added fuel to the fire that he could come into consideration for the vacant manager's position at Rangers, which is currently being held by interim boss Barry Ferguson.
With the US consortium closing in on their takeover of the Ibrox club, it's expected that appointing a new permanent manager will be their top priority upon their arrival.
Now, speaking to media outlet Kicker in his homeland, Rohl has outlined where he views his future, with reported interest from Premier League, Bundesliga and Saudi clubs.
'Personally, I had a fantastic time at Sheffield Wednesday," he said. "I've made no secret of the fact that I'd like to work at the highest possible level with the best players in the near future.
"And the Bundesliga is, of course, a consideration. And yet, I also know that getting the final nod requires good work, the right people who believe in you, and timing.

"And if all of that comes together, I might have the chance to return to the Bundesliga in the summer, or to return to the Bundesliga right away.
"But it could go in a completely different direction. My situation in Sheffield is unofficially relatively clear.
"There's a clear agreement with the owner about how I envision my future. Unfortunately, I can't go into detail about that right now.'

Viktor Gyokeres headache for Man Utd and Arsenal as new rivals enter race
There is yet more competition for Viktor Gyokeres' signature this summer, with Saudi Pro League side Al Hilal interested, according to reports. The 27-year-old has been prolific since moving to Sporting from Coventry City in 2023. The Sweden international has scored 97 goals in 102 games for the Portuguese side, after forgettable spells with Brighton and Swansea before making his name with Coventry. Now his exploits with Sporting have attracted the attention of many of the world's biggest clubs, with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United, Liverpool, Napoli and Atletico Madrid all linked with a move for him this summer. The Gunners had been favourites to sign him, but the Red Devils are now fancied by the bookmakers, with his former Sporting manager Ruben Amorim in charge at Old Trafford. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link so we can send you football news tailored to you. However, reports in France state that there is yet more competition for his signature, with the Saudi Pro League coming calling. Foot Mercato report that Al Hilal have Gyokeres on their list of targets in attack this summer, and he has moved up that list since Victor Osimhen turned down a move to Saudi Arabia. A deal was agreed between Al Hilal and Napoli, but Osimhen has opted against a move to Saudi Arabia, looking to pursue opportunities in Europe. That is the challenge that Saudi sides face, as they are willing and able to offer players mind-blowing money but cannot offer them a good level of competition. Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes has already turned downadvances from the Saudi Pro League this summer, despite being able to earn far more money than he does at Old Trafford. Al Hilal are desperate to make a big-name signing and have a number of targets still on their shopping list. More Trending Liverpool pair Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz, Manchester United's Jadon Sancho, Manchester City's Bernardo Silva and Tottenham hero Son Heung-min are all wanted by the Saudi side. They have already made a high profile move in the dugout by appointing Simone Inzaghi as manager shortly after he had taken Inter Milan to the Champions League final. Saudi interest will be a headache for the clubs trying to tempt Gyokeres to join them as Al Hilal will undoubtedly be offering wages that won't be matched by other interested parties. Gyokeres is a bunch of different strikers blended into one. He's a bulldozer, but he's also got that turn of pace and knack of finding himself in shooting areas. Some strikers, you can see they overthink things, but he'll shoot first and ask questions later. At 6ft 2in, he could definitely add an aerial presence to his game to take himself to the next level, but he's very good at using his chest as a magnet to win these aerial duels. He may not be as fearless as others when it comes to aerial duels, but he knows how to use his strengths to his advantage to hold up the ball and bring others into play. He's not someone like Roberto Firmino who is going to be dropping deep, so if Arsenal need to change certain things to get the best out of Gyokeres then they should.

Jobe Bellingham to follow in Jude's footsteps as Sunderland agree deal with Dortmund
Jobe Bellingham is poised to swap Sunderland for Borussia Dortmund after the clubs agreed an initial fee of around £28m, potentially rising to £32m. The 19-year-old England Under-21 midfielder, the younger brother of Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham, has just played a key part in helping Sunderland to secure promotion to the Premier League but is now following in his sibling's footsteps and heading to the Bundesliga. Jude Bellingham spent three years at Dortmund and his positive experience helped to inform Jobe's decision to resist not only Sunderland's attempts to persuade him to remain on Wearside but serious interest from Eintracht Frankfurt and RB Leipzig. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion The younger Bellingham joined Sunderland from Birmingham for £1.5m in 2023 and, in the course of 90 appearances, has since been scouted extensively by clubs at home and abroad. Last summer he signed a new contract at the Stadium of Light but that deal was just as much about protecting his future value as tying him down to north-east England. Under the terms of a sell-on clause inserted in the agreement reached with Dortmund, Sunderland will be due 15% of his next transfer fee. If, as expected, Bellingham passes certain milestones in Germany, and the fee increases to £32m, it will break Sunderland's record for an outbound transfer, established by Jordan Pickford's £30m sale to Everton in 2017. It would also make him Dortmund's most expensive acquisition, narrowly eclipsing the sum they invested in Ousmane Dembélé in 2016. In an interview with the French radio station RMC last week Régis Le Bris, the Sunderland manager, was unstinting in his praise for Bellingham. 'The player is incredibly interesting,' Le Bris said. 'He's still very young and has enormous room for improvement. But his personality is also great; he's extremely competitive, extremely intense. Jobe is a guy with a wonderful personality. It's been a wonderful encounter.' Sunderland have already sold the winger Tommy Watson, scorer of the winning goal in the playoff final against Sheffield United, to Brighton for £10m while paying Roma £20m to turn Enzo Le Fée's loan into a permanent transfer.

We weren't happy – Thomas Tuchel won't pull punches when criticising England
After Gareth Southgate called time on his eight-year reign having lost a second European Championship final, the Football Association turned to German coach Tuchel in a bid to take them that last step. Tuchel's contract takes him through to the end of next summer's World Cup, where England will be among the favourites but have plenty of work to do judging by Saturday's forgettable 1-0 win against minnows Andorra. Boos from unimpressed fans greeted the half-time and final whistles in Barcelona, where the frustrated head coach spoke frankly about his unhappiness at the side's lack of 'seriousness and urgency' as they 'played with fire' towards the end. Asked if it was a risk being so publicly critical of the team, Tuchel responded: 'What risk? You were in the stadium. What should I tell you? That we played a good match and are happy. 'The risk is only that you exaggerate it and make something of it that was not there. Everything I said I said already to the team. There is no harm done. 'We were not happy and no single player will be happy with what we showed today. Why would the coach be? And why would we be shy of saying so? 'If we want to get better, we first need to address that we were not happy with the end of both halves.' Put to Tuchel that some players can be thin-skinned, the England boss said: 'I didn't name a single name. Back to it on Tuesday in Nottingham! 👊#ThreeLions | @NuffieldHealth — England (@England) June 8, 2025 'We do this as a team. It's always a 'we' and I didn't like how the way we ended the match and the way we ended the first half. I didn't like the attitude or the energy level and how that dropped. 'I liked the beginning of the team. It always includes me. Everything I say I tell the players.' Tuchel feels he has a 'top group' full of players whose quality and character he loves – a side that will attempt to lift the mood by heading into the summer on the back of a promising performance in Tuesday's friendly against Senegal. The visitors are ranked 19th in the world, 154 places above Andorra, and will be the toughest test since the 51-year-old took charge, but the honeymoon period could end if they play badly at the City Ground. 'I always feel pressure as I am not happy with myself,' Tuchel said when that was put to him. 'The biggest pressure comes from myself. We have three wins and three clean sheets and we have a friendly match on Tuesday. I have felt more pressure than that.' Tuchel is expecting a 'good test' against Senegal and will look to balance rotation with the need to extract everything from their limited time together, saying: 'We worship every training and we worship every match.' Ivan Toney, called up for the first time since joining Saudi side Al-Ahli, is among those pushing to start after Ollie Watkins withdrew through injury and Harry Kane completed Saturday's win against Andorra. 'We have opportunities and we will see some changes but I am not going to give you names now because I don't know the line up,' Tuchel added. 'It's not the time now to talk about Ivan Toney because now we just played a game and we must analyse the game.'
