Journalist claims Victor Orta could hand ‘outstanding’ manager the Leeds job if he wants it
TalkSPORT journalist Alex Crook has named West Brom boss Carlos Corberan as the frontrunner for the Leeds United job, but only if he wants it.
Jesse Marsch has been relieved of his duties at Leeds after a dismal run of form in the Premier League. The Whites had often put in decent performances under the American but failed to▨ produce positive results.
Aft🦩er just two wins in thei𒆙r last 17 league games, Leeds sit just above the relegation zone by goal difference.
reports that Corberan is keen on a return to Elland Road after a stint as M🙈arcelo Bielsa’s assistant manager.
Now, the 39-year-old is apparently leading the race to repl𝔉ace Marsch, with Rayo Vallecano’s Andoni Iraola also in the mix.
Victor Orta could hand Corberan the Leeds job
Crook spoke to this morning and provided an update on L🍸eeds’ search for a new manager.
The journalist rubbished any chance𒐪s of 💞Leeds appointing former Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino, while claiming Victor Orta could look to appoint Corberan due to his previous links with the club.
“I heard a Leeds fan talking with you a few minut🐎es ago talking about Pochettino. I don’t want to shatter their thunder… but absolutely no chance that Mauricio Pochettino will take this job,” he said.
“Carlos Corberan is the name mentioned to me when I reported on Jesse Marsch’s departurꦉe. He has 🐼history with the football club and was part of the back room team.
“He has only🔴 just started at West Brom and what a job he’s done there to take them up the division. It’s not t🉐he most stable football club and he may see this as a decent opportunity to move on.
“The other name that came out last night was that of Andoni Iraola, who is at Ra♍yo Vallecano in Spa🌸in. At the moment, I would make Corberan the front runner, if he wanted the job.”
C💦orberan is proving himself in the Championship with W🅷est Brom at the moment and has been described as an ‘’ manager.
Iraola is another up and coming coach and at 40, he is also a younger🐬 candidate Leeds could consider.
The Whites have also been linked with Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou, but they could turn to a familiarꦆ face in Corberan.
The appointment could make sense for Leeds considering he’s an option that will be very familiar with the set-up at Elland Road. But with a lack of experience꧑ in management at the top level, it would also be a massive risk from Orta to appoint Corberan given Leeds’ position in the table.
