Ex Tottenham and West Ham United manager Harry Redknapp update emerges as Leeds United on verge of sacking Javi Gracia
Leeds United reportedly also considered appointing former Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp as they look set to sack Javi Gracia.
According to 90 Min [2 May], while a deal looks close to being done for Sam Allardyce, Redknapp was one among many names being considered.
The former West Ham, Spurs and Birmingham City manager has not been in management since 2017, but was still looked at by the board.
Shambles
Who would’ve thought that two years after sacking Marcelo Bielsa, the club will be considering appointing Redknapp to salvage a season?
They could not be contrasting in terms of team building and playing style and it’s pretty evident that there is no coherent plan.
Victor Orta leaving the club is the first of many changes that are needed behind the scenes and eventually, Andrea Radrizzani must also part ways.
Angus Kinnear is another figure who’s not popular with the fans and it’s time for an entire overhaul behind the scenes for the Whites.
Whether or not the San Francisco 49ers take over at the end of the season, remains to be seen but it’s all down on relegation and if Leeds can manage to survive in these last four games.
Manchester City away is perhaps the worst fixture a new manager in charge wants but Allardyce will be getting certain bonuses if he keeps Leeds up so it could be worth it.
