Former Palace boss backed into running for Leeds United role

Former Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Southampton boss Alan Pardew has been backed into the running for the next Leeds United manager, according to Sky Bet.

Pardew is currently 3/1 in the ‘next permanent Leeds manager’ market, a substantial increase from 16/1 earlier this week.

The 55-year-old’s last role was at Premier League outfit Crystal Palace, where he won 35 of his 87 games in charge, alongside 13 draws and 39 losses.

Previous to this, Pardew had a lengthy spell in charge of Newcastle, after departing Southampton in August 2010.

Claudio Ranieri and Pep Clotet are the joint-favourites for the role at 5/2, with Pardew now being backed into third favourite.

Clotet joined the Whites shortly after Garry Monk’s appointment as Head Coach last summer, taking up the role as Monk’s right-hand man.

He has enjoyed spells as a coach in both Sweden and Spain before he joined the backroom staff at Premier League outfit Swansea City.

Former Premier League winning manager Ranieri is in the running as joint-favourite to take over at the club.

Ranieri’s odds have come crashing down from 14/1 at the weekend, with many fancying him to take the role at Elland Road.

The former Leicester man guided the Foxes to an historic 5000/1 Premier League title during the 2015/16 season, beating Arsenal and Tottenham to claim the trophy.

The Leeds managerial position is discussed in the FL72 Podcast which is available to listen to here.
