Sheffield Wednesday aim to have two new coaches on their staff by Friday but adding a 25th player to their squad will take a little longer.
In his first week as manager, Dany Rohl has brought in performance manager Sascha Lense and worked with the caretaker staff of Neil Thompson, Steve Haslam, Andy Holdsworth and Nicky Weaver. But the German is closing in on two backroom appointments he hopes to have in place for Saturday's game at Watford, the 34-year-old's first in charge of a senior team. Former Huddersfield Town manager and England coach Powell is tipped to be one.
“We spoke a lot and it was so important to get a lot of information. “It's important to have guys around me who know the players and the club.” Lense worked as a sports psychologist at Manchester United, but has a different job under Rohl. “We met at Leipzig, we worked together and were promoted to the first division,” he said. “I trust him. He is a smart guy to understand the locker room. It's very important to have a guy who is very strong to create great relationships and energy.
