Sheffield Wednesday assistant manager Henrik Pedersen has extended his contract at the club.

The 47-year-old joined Wednesday in October 2023 alongside Danny Rohl, helping the Owls secure Championship survival that season before a 12th-placed finish last term.

Pedersen told the club website:, external "When the opportunity presented itself and the chairman asked me to extend my current contract with the club, I didn't hesitate.

"It's no secret that my family and I have fallen in love with this great club and also this wonderful city that has made us so welcome.

"The fans are what carries a club through tough games, good times and bad. And our supporters are the best.

"I'm excited to continue my role at the club and getting back to work supporting the team and working with the great group of players we have."

Rohl's future, meanwhile, remains uncertain with reports widely suggesting he will leave the club this summer.
