Long-term

Leeds have already got a manager in the form of Javi Gracia. However, 🦄there is still a decision to be made on the long-term manage✅r at the club.

And according to , Leeds are considering Vieira as 🔯the man to tꦍake the club forward.

TBR’s View: Vieira would need to convince Leeds fans

We all know Patricꦇk V🎶ieira is a driven character who wants to do well in whatever he does. He did well with Palace to turn them around and work with a young squad.

However, Leeds fans would need some convincing here. Is Vieira really the best man for the job, esꦯpecially if Gracia d𝔉oes keep them up?

Looking at how things went at Palace, Leeds fans wouldn’t be overly convinced you feel. Vi✃eira has a lot to offer and is still a relatively young manager. However, he has to prove himself further and right now, the Leeds job might be one that has big risks for all parties.
