Leeds manager news: Nuno Espirito Santo now being seriously considered

Tue 14 February 2023 8:15, UK

Leeds United are now set to push t𝓀o appoint Nuno🅺 Espirito Santo as their new manager.

A report from the suggests that the 49-year-old is one of their main targets to replace Jesse Marsch.

It’s now bee🔴n o🌞ver a week since Marsch was sacked by the club.

Off the back of a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest, Leeds deci🌠ded it was time to relieve the American of his duties.

The timing of the decision wa𒉰s questionable, after heaౠvily backing him in the January transfer window.

Fellow American Weston McKennie was sign🅘eꦏd from Juventus on loan, and he was joined by Marsch’s former player Max Wober.

The club then broke their transfer♒ record to bring in Georginio Rutꦡter from German side Hoffenheim.

Now, Leeds are despe♏rately searchi𒀰ng for Marsch’s replacement.

They’ve already turned down the chance to appoint Alfred Schreuder, and spoke to caretaker boss Michael Skubala yesterday.

As the suggest, Nuno Espiritio Santo෴ is being seriously considereꦡd to take the manager’s job at Leeds.

It would be a return to the Premier League for a coach 🅘who struggled during his last role i💦n England.

The report states that, ‘Al-Itt𓄧ihad’s Nuno Espirito Santo is one that continues to be pusꦜhed.’

Although Nuno is🌌 currently already in a job, the likelihood is he’ll be quite easy to bring back to England.

Already this season, he’s been linked with moves to West Ham, Everton and his old club Wolves.

Nuno has a great recor꧂d when playing Leeds as ಌa manager, against them.

He excelled during his tꦉime at Wolves, taking them from the Championship to Europe in four se🦄asons.

His time in c🏅harge of Tottenham was much less ജsuccessful, as he was shown the door after 17 games in charge.

Nuno is tactically quite flexible𓄧, and has had success with various different formations.

He is, however, quite a conservative manager, and given Leeds’s problems i𒀰n front of goal, he may not be the best coach to fix them.

However, it⛦ would take him little time to adapt to the Premier League again, and could be a clever appointment.

Whoever Leeds decide to bring in, they need to do it fast, as time is running out before their huge💙 game against Everton on Satu♏rday.
