Leeds United want to hire new manager after formal interviews as three names emerge – Sky Sports
Leeds United have “drawn up a shortlist” for the vacant managerial role at Elland Road, according to Sky Sports.
The publication noted that the Whites have made initial contact with several candidates via Zoom, with formal interviews taking place next week.
And while they are speaking to other candidates, trio Carlos Corberan, Scott Parker and Daniel Farke all fit the profile of what Leeds want, Sky Sports added.
“Leeds have drawn up a shortlist for their vacant managerial role,” according to Sky Sports.
“Initial contact has been made with several candidates via Zoom and formal interviews are due to take place next week. Sky Sports News understands Leeds hope to make an appointment soon after.
“Carlos Corberan, Scott Parker and Daniel Farke all fit the profile of what Leeds are looking for, but the club are also talking to other candidates.”
Making moves
There are plenty of issues that need to be resolved at Elland Road this summer, but getting in a top manager is the priority for many supporters, with that manager then able to focus on building a squad that is capable of being promoted back to the Premier League at the first time of asking.
But that is much easier said than done, with the Whites preparing themselves for a hugely competitive Championship campaign.
Fellow Championship new boys Leicester City and Southampton will no doubt fancy themselves to return to the top flight immediately, but there are also plenty of other clubs with their sights set on a lucrative spot in the Premier League.
The trio of Corberan, Parker and Farke all know the league well, so it is unsurprising to see their names seemingly sitting top of the pile.
While it will be a very tough job for whoever takes it on, it promises to be an exciting one, as it always is with the West Yorkshire outfit.
