Leeds United are indeed on the lookout for a new manager once again, and the odds for Paul Heckingbottom’s replacement have been released by Sky Bet. Many names have been linked, but the question is who do the fans want to be appointed at Elland Road?

We have looked to Twitter to see how the Leeds United faithful has instantly suggested as a possible new manager at the club. Heckingbottom was only given four months in the job, and not even covering a transfer window. The next man will need time, but who will that man be?

At the time of writing, Marcelo Bielsa is indeed the odds-on favourite for the job. Leeds aren’t expected to be the only side linked with his services this summer however. They may face a battle from bigger clubs in higher divisions across Europe, but he may be attracted by the challenge to make Leeds great once again. Claudio Ranieri is out of work after leaving Ligue 1 side Nantes this summer. He of course guided Leicester city to their famous Premier League triumph a few seasons ago. Mick McCarthy is vastly experienced at this level, and is also out of work. Sam Allardyce, Filippo Inzaghi and Jaap Stam are other names high up in the betting at present. For those of you wondering, Zinedine Zidane is priced at 50/1, days after leaving UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid! It is exciting times whenever a new manager is to be appointed, and one common thread is that all supporters know the next appointment is vitally important in the history of the football club.
