Leeds United-linked manager Carlos Carvalhal will not be returning to Sheffield Wednesday this summer.
That is according to Owls owner Dejphon Chansiri, who, via Sheffield Star, was speaking at a fans forum earlier this week and confirmed there is ‘no chance’ Carvalhal will comeback as their new boss.
Like Leeds, Wednesday are in the market for a manager ahead of the start of the new season after Darren Moore’s shock departure from Hillsborough on Monday.
Moore guided Wednesday to the highest points tally in their entire history last season, before dramatically navigating their way through the play-offs to seal a return to the Championship.
A return to South Yorkshire for Carvalhal had been ‘mooted’ in the wake of Moore’s exit, though Chansiri has been equally quick in pouring cold water on a potential reuinion.

Leeds are aiming to wrap up the process of hiring a new manager this week and according to the Sun’s Alan Nixon earlier this month, Carvalhal is among the names to have been considered.
Carvalhal recently left La Liga outfit Celta Vigo after narrowly guiding them to survival thanks to a dramatic final day victory over Barcelona.
It is unclear as to whether Leeds have followed up on their initial interest in Carvalhal, with San Francisco 49ers Enterprises having reportedly narrowed down the final shortlist to three candidates.
Daniel Farke, Scott Parker and Patrick Vieira are said to be the names under final consideration, as face-to-face interviews take place this week.
Being out of work and possessing both Championship and Premier League experience, Carvalhal would fit the bill of what Leeds are looking for.
