Latest Leeds United head-coach situation

|

Yet again Leeds are looking for another head-coach. I know a lot of people wanted Steve Evans to stay and I suppose it would have been good for some consistency but I just couldn’t stomach another year of football played that way, it was just unbelievably dull. There are always a lot of names banded about when the Leeds job becomes available and this time is no different, the current 1/4 favourite is John Sheridan. I know he’s a legend to all Leeds fans from a certain era but I don’t think he’s good enough in a managerial sense, I’d rather see him than some random guy from Serie B but surely it’s time we do better?







A more recent and appealing name is Quique Sanchez Flores, he confirmed today that he’s leaving Watford and he refused to rule out the Leeds job. This is a man who has managed Atletico Madrid, Valencia and done well with Watford in the Premier League, yeah he’s never managed in the Championship but he’s got the sort of CV that you want. It said a lot that he wouldn’t rule it out, because I think he’s above our level but it would be a top quality appointment.




The third favourite is a surprising name for me, Karl Robinson of MK Dons. I personally am not a fan but I know a lot of people who really rate him and the job he’s done at bringing young players through. Of course Dele Alli played for MK Dons before he emerged on the scene at Spurs. MK Dons did just get relegated so I’m sure he’d jump at the chance to come here.




After that the names get more obscure, Giuseppe Iachini, most recently of Palermo (for about 2 weeks) and Massimo Rastelli, who managed Cagliari last season. Considering Cagliari got promoted, I highly doubt he’d come here. Iachini was linked in Italian media, he has four promotions from Serie B to Serie A but to be honest, I think we really need someone who understands the game over here.

I’m sure there will be more and more names mentioned before it actually gets announced. In an ideal world I’d love Roberto Martinez, but I doubt he’d come here under Cellino. Let us know who you want as the new head-coach.

    I don’t think the really good people want to come to Leeds because they know that as soon as they say or do something Cellino doesn’t like or agree with they will be out on their ear………….

    David O’Leary once said he had “UNFINISHED BUSINESS AT LEEDS” Let’s face it. We could do worse and at least he is British. Give him the chance to carry out his promise.

    Lets go for some one who can at least give us a chance of top six and get players who want to go some where

  • Alan ramsden says:

    No to j Sheridan
    Sorry but no way near as good a manager as he was a player

    I think Steve should be given the chance to have a season with his own players – not other people’s signings. The few he has brought in have done well and I’m sure there is more to come. More importantly he WANTS to be here! Who else in their right mind would want to come here? Perhaps a failed MK Dons, or someone from Italy (Not again please!)
    …perehaps even “The Chosen One” – another failed one!

    I really want Evans to stay, he already has chemistry with players which is is great boost, the ones he brought in in January have been a god send, most importantly… HIS PASSION! He loves Leeds United, this is the home for Evans in my eyes. Give him the chance to bring in his own players instead of the hand me downs from failed managers sacked after 2 minutes by a crazy Italian. I believe play off is very achievable under Evans. MOT!
