Leicester City’s Premier League status was finally snatched away from them on Sunday afternoon after a severely disappointing second half of the top-flight campaign under Ruud van Nistelrooy – and Sky Sports reporter Rob Dorsett believes that Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl could be in their sights ahead of a potential move.
Van Nistelrooy came into Leicester’s ranks in December, and despite taking four points from his first two games in charge of the Foxes, he’s only managed to equal that tally in his following 18 games. He’s suffered a truly horrific record at the King Power Stadium, as the Foxes have only scored two goals since the start of February, and five goals in the Premier League in 2025 alone. As a result, other targets have been weighed up – with Rohl touted to make the switch.

Speaking on Sky Sports, Dorsett claimed that Rohl had made Leicester’s shortlist to replace the beleaguered Dutchman – despite Van Nistelrooy still remaining as boss at present, amid the Foxes having not scored in nine consecutive home Premier League games.
