Danny Rohl says he has made his position on his Sheffield Wednesday future clear to the club’s hierarchy after his side wrapped up the campaign with a 1-1 draw at Watford.
The German, who has been linked with Southampton, Leicester and RB Leipzig, saw Josh Windass put the Owls ahead in the 29th minute before Watford midfielder Moussa Sissoko equalised in first-half added time.
The point ensured Wednesday secured a top-half finish after ending the season in 12th place.
The focus at Hillsborough will now switch to the question of whether Rohl will still be in charge next season.
He said: “My picture is clear. The club knows my picture. And to continue, some ways, I think it’s important that for everyone it’s clear in which direction it goes.
“I cannot say more about this. This is then also the responsibility from the club, in which direction and what we announce. But my picture is very clear.
“If we got requests for players from a higher division, if you got requests for a manager from a higher division, I think you should all little bit proud of this journey, even as this feels not good and feels disappointment.
“This is the outcome from good work, what we did in the last 18-19 months. I think at the end everyone deserves a clear picture now. This is the most important because the club is bigger than one person and we should do this in this direction.”
Rohl has been pleased with his side’s progress this season.
He added: “I think we finished fifth in the away table. I’m not sure. I think this is a big, big achievement.
“I’m not sure how many games we lost away. It was not so much. We are always difficult to play against. I think this is a huge step.
“If in the end you are 12th then you deserve this. For me it’s more about the development. When I took over we were bottom of the table.
“This season we were never involved in relegation. The cup is more half full.”
Watford manager Tom Cleverley was satisfied with his side’s display.
He said: “I thought it was a strong performance, to be honest. We dominated the game for large spells, especially almost all the second half, and did more than enough to win the game.
“I was really pleased with how much desire we showed to win the game in what was literally just a battle for 12th place.
“I think you saw a lot of promise, a lot of players who were playing football in a way that’s entertaining.”
Cleverley said the challenge now is to improve his side’s goal threat next term.
He added: “We’ve not scored enough goals and we together have to realise that was a big part in why the play-off charge wasn’t sustained.
“Now it’s for all of us to recognise why didn’t we sustain these these results and learn from that.”
