The Portuguese led the Owls for two-and-a-half years before his departure by mutual consent on Christmas Eve, 2017.
He later had a spell at Swansea City but has often been found doing media work since then.
Carvalhal was pictured sharing a joke with Sheffield United’s manager Chris Wilder, who mentioned the 53-year-old in a interview with the BBC afterwards.

“I’ve always said, and I stick by it, Sheffield Wednesday have got that quality,” Wilder admitted. “I know Carlos was having a moan up to me before the game about the players that they had out, but their squad is absolutely packed full of really good players.

“They’ve got some good players at the top of the pitch that can pull something out of nothing. (Steven) Fletcher’s been in outstanding form. (Adam) Reach is a really good player. (Barry) Bannan is a Scottish international. You can go right the way through the group.”
