Leeds United manager news as two names not released to public as interviews continue
Leeds Live journalist Beren Cross responded to a fan’s question surrounding the Leeds United manager hunt, claiming there are two contenders that aren’t even in the public domain yet.
The journalist admitted that he didn’t know who they were at this stage but confessed that he’d been told there had been progress made on second interviews for some of them.
Time is ticking for the Whites to get a managerial appointment signed, sealed and over the line and hopefully, fans will be getting some positive news in the coming days.
“No, I don’t know who they are at this stage, otherwise we’d definitely report them. Just been told there’s progress on second interviews for some of them,” said Cross in response to a fan as quoted by Leeds Live.
“I am told there are still a couple which haven’t reached the public domain yet.”
Wild West Yorkshire.
It’s been a wild week in the world of Leeds United and West Yorkshire with new managers being linked and dismissed by the hour ever since Jesse Marsch was sacked.
This has been followed up by a frantic but positive performance and draw at Old Trafford, a result which should instil some confidence into this Leeds squad.
Michael Skubala has led the temporary three-man team with Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo and who knows, a romping win at Elland Road on Sunday afternoon may put them into the board’s managerial picture.
This, however, is extremely unlikely and the huge amount of faith that would be needed from Andrea Radrizanni and co would be unparalleled since they have been in charge of the club.
The club will likely look towards fellow relegation rivals Everton for some inspiration in their choice for the next Leeds manager, someone who can come in and get results for the here and now.
With relegation fixtures against the Toffees and Southampton looming, a decision will need to be made fast before vital points go by the wayside.
