Leeds United have narrowed their search for a new manager down to the final three candidates.
That is according to Football League World, who report Brendan Rodgers, Daniel Farke and Carlos Corberan have all made the shortlist, with interviews taking place this week.
Leeds are hopeful of making an appointment in the coming days after clarity was provided on the club’s ownership situation on Friday.
San Francisco 49ers Enterprises agreed a deal with Andrea Radrizzani for a full takeover, allowing them to push the buttons on their search for a new manager.
After links to the likes of Steven Gerrard and Scott Parker, it now appears as though they have found their three main targets in Rodgers, Farke and Corberan.
Leeds set for Rodgers, Farke, Corberan talks
Of the those on the final shortlist, only Corberan is currently in work, having been at West Bromwich Albion for around eight months.
The Spaniard was linked with Leeds back in February to replace Jesse Marsch but instead signed a new deal, which is said to include a £2m release clause.
Rodgers and Farke, meanwhile, are both also targets for Scottish treble winning side Celtic after they lost manager Ange Postecoglou to Tottenham Hotspur.
Rodgers has been out of work since his dismissal from Leicester City in April and has already spent two-and-a-half years as manager of Celtic, winning back-to-back trebles.
Farke is keen to get straight back into management after his sacking from Borussia Monchengladbach earlier this month and already has two Championship promotions on his CV with Norwich City.
All would represent good appointments for Leeds, though it is important to get them in early so work on player signings can begin.
