49ers may have new Leeds United manager in place already after latest news
Everything coming out of Leeds United at this moment in time is about a new manager and the potential for players leaving the club behind already.
The 49ers Enterprises have agreed to their full takeover of the club now, and although it still needs to be rubber-stamped, plans are being put into action.
Interviews have started with managers now, with Paraag Marathe said to be mainly joining those through Zoom alongside Angus Kinnear [Sky Sports].
Daniel Farke, Scott Parker and Carlos Corberan appear to be the main three contenders for the job, and next week has already been mentioned as the time it could be announced.
A new twist emerged today though on Saturday 17 June, with the Daily Mail reporting that Marathe has made phone calls to the senior part of the Leeds playing squad.
The American and new chairman of the club is said to have shared his big plans to get the club back to the Premier League after relegation to the Championship.
So, do the 49ers have their new manager in place already?
You cannot really share your big plans for the club to get back to the Premier League without having a manager in place, that is not very inspiring.
Marathe may have his next man in place and ready to go, with a contract signing and announcement the only thing separating him from getting down to work.
Farke appears to be the man who is most likely at this moment in time with interviews said to be planned, but surely we are ahead of that stage after talks last week.
It appears as though we are getting closer, but with pre-season not set to start for another couple of weeks, there is no urgency to get this announced.
With transfer plans needing to follow the new manager though, as plenty of players get ready to come in and leave, this announcement is certainly needed.
Hopefully, it is all done and ready to go.
