Report: Leeds want Valverde, Marsch or Corberan if Bielsa leaves
that Leeds United would be interested in Jesse Marsch, Ernesto Valverde and Carlos Corberan should they need to replace Marcelo Bielsa at the end of the season.
Thoughts are, once again, turning to what the future holds for the Argentinian at Elland Road. As always, he is only under contract until the end of the season.
Leeds hope Bielsa will carry on beyond this campaign. However, they also have a number of names on their radar in case he does decide to leave the club.
that Marsch, Valverde, and Corberan are all on the radar.
Of course, Corberan is no stranger to the surroundings at Leeds. He spent a few years in charge of the under-23s. And he was promoted to work with the first-team once Bielsa was appointed.
The Spaniard departed when Leeds sealed promotion, taking the Huddersfield Town job. The Terriers currently sit in the Championship play-off places.
Valverde has not managed since leaving Barcelona in 2020. Interestingly, the 57-year-old took the Athletic Bilbao job when Bielsa left the Basque side back in 2013.
Marsch was most recently at RB Leipzig. He struggled in the Bundesliga having previously enjoyed a very impressive spell with Red Bull Salzburg.
He won two league titles in Austria. And, interestingly, he was the manager who signed Brenden Aaronson. Aaronson, of course, attracted a £20 million bid from Leeds in January.
Marsch, Valverde and Corberan all exciting options as Leeds consider life after Bielsa
Plenty of Leeds fans will hope that Bielsa sticks around. And clearly, the Whites do too. However, all three names on the radar could be extremely exciting.
Corberan is perhaps the most underwhelming of the trio. But he would have the backing of many of the Leeds players given his prior relationship with them.
Marsch’s stock fell following his stint in Germany. But he has enjoyed plenty of success. And figures nurtured in that particular system always tend to be extremely impressive.
Valverde did win two La Liga titles with Barca, as well as three with Olympiakos. Lionel Messi labelled him a ‘‘ person following his departure from the Nou Camp.
And he is certainly the most established name of the three.
