Sheffield Wednesday ‘have agreed a deal’ for ex-West Bromwich Albion, Nottingham Forest and Watford man
Dowling was most recently employed by West Bromwich Albion, where he served as sporting and technical director. According to Football Insider, he could be set to arrive at Hillsborough to work under Owls chairman Dejphon Chansiri.
Dowling left the Hawthorns in 2021 after three years at the club, during which he was in charge of overseeing football affairs. He counts Watford, Nottingham Forest and Blackburn Rovers among some of his other former clubs.
Change is afoot in S6 as Wednesday plan for their return to the Championship. Since sealing promotion to the second tier, they have parted ways with the man who led them out of League One, Darren Moore, and replaced with him former Watford boss Xisco Munoz.
The Owls are currently in Spain as part of their pre-season preparations and most recently suffered a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Eldense.

West Bromwich Albion have signed winger Jeremy Sarmiento on a season-long loan from Brighton.
The 21-year-old Ecuador international will wear the No 17 shirt during his time at The Hawthorns.
West Brom manager Carlos Corberan told the club’s official website: ‘I am very pleased to have signed a talented player from a Premier League club. He is an exciting player, who has great maturity for someone so young.
‘The fact he has already played in the Premier League and at a World Cup gives me the confidence that he has the personality and desire required to keep developing his skills.
‘He is a versatile attacker who can play on either wing, as well as through the middle as a 10, and his flexibility to play to a high standard in three different positions will be important to us.’
Born in Spain, he was previously capped by England at youth level.
But then he elected to represent Ecuador, for whom he was part of the squad at last year’s World Cup in Qatar.
Last week Sarmiento agreed a new contract with Brighton which will run until 2027, with the club having the option to extend the deal for another year.
