The Owls have taken their time to find the right candidate, as they seek out a capable manager to help them push towards promotion this season. Here's who Sky Bet reckon are the current front-runners for the job...
1. Rui Silva
Odds: 25/1 - It doesn't look any chance of the Wolves assistant manager getting the job, even though Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino publicly backed him for it. Whatever worth that may have...(Photo by Matthew Lewis/Getty Images) Photo: Matthew Lewis
2. Roland Nilsson
Odds: 25/1. The Owls legend has made it known he's keen on the job, and he's currently managing the Sweden U21 team. His odds fairly are long, mind. (Photo credit: MICHAL CIZEK/AFP/Getty Images) Photo: MICHAL CIZEK
3. Nigel Pearson
Odds: 25/1 - The former Wednesday ace was at one stage a front-runner for the job, but he's now being linked to financially struggling Bolton Wanderers. (Photo by Nathan Stirk/Getty Images) Photo: Nathan Stirk
4. Garry Monk
Odds: 25/1. He's still searching for a new club after leaving Birmingham City earlier in the summer, but seems a fair off being in contention for the Owls position. (Photo by Stu Forster/Getty Images) Photo: Stu Forster
