Leeds United manager news as agents flood club with enquiries already at Elland Road – report
It seems as if Leeds United have a large amount of interest from various candidates about their vacant managerial position, according to a report in The Telegraph.
The Yorkshire giants are without a manager following the departure of Sam Allardyce after the club’s relegation from the Premier League. Allardyce left the club by mutual agreement on Friday morning.
However, it seems as if there has already been a quick update in Leeds’ hunt for a new boss with the Telegraph’s report claiming that the club has been flooded with enquiries from agents and managers themselves interested in the post.
The club will want to get this appointment right to ensure their best chances of a swift return to the Premier League and intend to run a thorough recruitment process.
Some of the names reported so far include Steven Gerrard, Scott Parker, and Carlos Corberan, according to the report in The Telegraph (2 June).
Decision time
After an up-and-down season that featured three different first-team managers and the club’s eventual relegation, it will be important that The Whites get this decision right in order to regain some stability.
The Championship is a difficult league to operate in at the best of times and appears to be more competitive than ever with the likes of Leicester and Southampton also joining Leeds in the division next year.
Therefore, it is important that the club make an informed decision and stick by their man this time as another season of chopping and changing first-team managers will only hinder their promotion hopes.
Some of the names mentioned on the list will have Leeds’ fans excited. Gerrard is a coach with Premier League experience and Parker oversaw a recent successful promotion campaign.
Whoever is appointed will need time and patience and Leeds fans will need to get behind their new manager quickly.
