De supporters van Leeds United maken zich zorgen om de invulling van de trainersvacature. Na het ontslag van Jesse March op maandag zijn diverse potentiële opvolgers benaderd, maar niemand heeft nog toegehapt. Vrijdag maakte Feyenoord-trainer Arne Slot ook duidelijk [a,https://www.fcupdate.nl/voetbalnieuws/414310/slot-stelt-feyenoord-gerust-ik-blijf/,_blank,niet in te gaan] op de avances van de Premier League-club.
Andoni Iraola (trainer van Rayo Vallecano), Marcelo Gallardo (clubloos), Mauricio Pochettino (clubloos) en Slot zouden inmiddels 'nee' hebben gezegd tegen Leeds. Verder werd ook Carlos Corberan (West Bromwich Albion) aan de baan gelinkt, maar hij verlengde dinsdag zijn contract bij West Bromwich en lijkt dus nergens heen te gaan.
Supporters van Leeds vragen zich inmiddels massaal af hoe het nu verder moet. Ook klinkt er kritiek op de club, omdat er geen plan lijkt te zijn om het vertrek van Marsch op te vangen. De honneurs worden momenteel waargenomen door Michael Skubala, die de reserveploeg onder zijn hoede had.
Next Leeds United manager?

Gonna end up with some absolute whopper aren’t we this after all is classic Radz
Textbook example of how not to deal with a change in head coach. Left it too late, making the job much higher risk. If you were Corberan, Slot, Iraola - honestly what’s the upside for them. Their stock is high. Other opportunities will come their way in summer. Shite. #lufc

Gallardo down, Slot down, Iraola Down, our top 3 choices all don’t want to come, hope the board don’t rush into this decision just to bring in any manager otherwise it’s gonna be the wrong decision #lufc

Not saying Slot is necessarily the right candidate. He could be, Iraola could be, Corberan could've been. But the fact the decision to get rid of Marsch was made, and it seems as though a contingency plan wasn't in place, is not a good look. #lufc

Corberan
Slot
Iraola
Pochettino
Gallardo
Running out of options 😬#LUFC
If Slot has rejected us, I think I speak for all Leeds fans when I say: we do not want Nuno.

Rejected by every top target, absolute disgrace of a club. #lufc
Honestly who are we going to appoint? Corberan, iraola, slot and gallardo all out the window https://t.co/esFHeidOFE

We’re in a bit of a pickle aren’t we. Sacked our manager and didn’t have anyone properly lined up. Clearly identified a shortlist and went for Iraola, but his club won’t budge. Gallardo (despite gleeful tweets by Argentinian journo) and now Slot both said no. It’s a mess #lufc

If Slot doesn’t want it, go get Gallardo before we end up picking a loser #lufc

Still holding out on Slot, he’s not going to say yea I’m leaving for Leeds at the weekend. Is he?
