Accomplished Southampton icon hints Southampton to re-sign dream transfer target | OneFootball

Southampton icon Stuart Armstrong has spoken highly of Sheffield boss Danny Rohl. Interestingly, this might be a siren from the Saints' hero as to whom they should look up to in future.

What do you think, in how many years can Southampton make their debut Champions League appearance? Now, chances are you’d probably laugh at this thought.

Well, that does make sense given the Saints' current situation. Set to being relegated back to the Championship, the fans can only dream of a European qualification for now.

But there's this one quite familiar name who could turn this into a reality. Well, it's Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl.

Though currently in the Championship, Rohl has participated in massive projects at some of the biggest European giants. A notable Hansi Flick disciple, who was his assistant in Bayern's sextuple victory, what else does Southampton need?

Still, if that feels insufficient, the fans should listen to these recent words from Saints icon Stuart Armstrong.

Armstrong, who has been with Rohl, firstly at Southampton and now at Sheffield, has praised him again. Particularly, as per Armstrong, it's Rohl's emphasis on details like pre-game analysis that makes him stand out among the rest.

As per The Star, Armstrong speaking of their Saints days, said: “He was meticulous and you always got the impression he was the main instigator of training and planning, tactically he was doing a lot.”

Honestly, it feels more than just praise for Danny Rohl. Rather it might be a ringing bell for Southampton who are yet to record an upward trajectory in a while.

Given their situation, it won't be surprising if the Saints see a new manager by the end of the season. If that happens, Southampton must prioritize a move for Danny Rohl.
