Leeds United are looking to ensure their process of recruiting a new manager is as thorough as possible this summer.
That is according to the Daily Telegraph, who also report the Whites have received a great deal of interest in the role from both agents and managers, but are keen to find the right man.
Since sacking Marcelo Bielsa in February of last year, Leeds have made a series of poor managerial appointments, which has led them to being relegated.
Jesse Marsch was appointed almost instantly following Bielsa’s exit, but was never the right man to succeed the much-loved Argentine.
He was sacked four months too late in the eyes of many and they were then left scrambling around to find a replacement in February, eventually bringing in Javi Gracia.
Again, his appointment just didn’t work out and the Spaniard lasted just 11 matches before Sam Allardyce was brought in as a final throw of the dice.
Leeds set for thorough recruitment process
Leeds simply cannot afford to get this appointment wrong and while it is important to get someone in quickly, it is good to hear they are being thorough.
Even after relegation, Leeds is always an attractive prospect for any potential manager, particularly with the opportunity to build a side capable of an immediate return to the Premier League.
A number of potential candidates have been linked with the role, ranging from the likes of Brendan Rodgers and Graham Potter, to Regis Le Bris and Carlos Corberan.
It is also said that Leeds are keen to find a manager who can once again excite the fans with an aggressive brand of football, built on fitness and intensity levels.
There are plenty of managers on the market capable of doing that, but Leeds are working hard to ensure it is the right one.
