With a mass exodus of players expected at Leeds United across the summer, the new owners, 49ers Enterprises, are going to need their wits about them when it comes to making the right decisions for a new manager, sporting director and players.

Get it right, and the Yorkshire-based Championship outfit could be straight back up into the Premier League, but if not, it could be a long, hard season for everyone connected with the club.

To that end, if the new board go with one particular appointment, it could lead to them getting a midfielder into the bargain too.

Planet Sport cite reports that West Bromwich Albion coach, Carlos Corberan, is on the shortlist for the manager’s job at Elland Road.

It isn’t clear at this stage whether he’s the favourite to take a position last held by Sam Allardyce, as the outlet also note that Scott Parker and Daniel Farke are in the running.

Where Corberan may hold the advantage is his employment with the club as Marcelo Bielsa’s assistant.

He knows the club and how it works, and even if the new board expect some changes from the time he was last at Elland Road, Corberan’s prior knowledge of how things work generally at the club has to hold him in good stead.

Planet Sport also say that reports suggest Leeds are being linked with West Brom’s Jayson Molumby. If Corberan were successful with his application, the expectation might be that Molumby would soon follow suit.

Leeds United confirmed the sacking of Jesse Marsch yesterday and Fabrizio Romano has given exclusive insight into the club’s decision and what they might do next.

Writing in the Daily Briefing, his exclusive CaughtOffside column, Romano explained that although there weren’t any issues between Marsch and the Leeds players, the feeling inside Elland Road was that the American tactician was unable to turn things around for the team.

Leeds have had a dreadful season so far, with no wins in their last seven Premier League games, and only a slightly better goal difference than Everton keeping them out of the relegation zone for the moment.

Although Marsch helped the Yorkshire side stay up last season, it seems like this was the right time to make a change, and Romano says several candidates are in the frame to replace him.

The reporter named West Brom boss Carlos Corberan as one option for Leeds, but it seems there are other names also being explored.

“The decision on Jesse Marsch was made on Monday morning, the club were not happy with the performance against Forest,” Romano said.

“There were no problems with the players but the feeling is that Marsch was not able to change the situation.

“Carlos Corberan is one of the candidates, but not the only one – talks are ongoing to find a replacement.”

The post Exclusive: Why Leeds United sacked Jesse Marsch and one possible candidate to replace him appeared first on CaughtOffside.

Leeds United aren’t at their best at the moment, and it’s leading to growing speculation over the future of Jesse Marsch as manager.

The American tactician replaced Marcelo Bielsa last season and did just enough to steer the club away from relegation, though there hasn’t been much progress since then.

Marsch is surely running out of time to turn things around, and it now seems that West Brom’s Spanish tactician Carlos Corberan is being considered by Leeds.

The 39-year-old has previously managed Leeds Under-23s, and he’s done some impressive work since then, particularly with West Brom in the Championship this season.

West Ham are considering hiring West Brom boss Carlos Corberan if they sack David Moyes.

Moyes has struggled to get a tune out of his West Ham squad this season after enjoying some success over the last few years. Moyes guided West Ham into Europe where they gave a good account of themselves.

However, it’s not gone so well this season, and according to The Sun, West Ham have already lined up Moyes’ replacement if he was to be sacked.

Leeds United could bid farewell to manager Marcelo Bielsa at the end of the season and the club has a three-man shortlist to replace him.

That’s according to recent reports, which suggest the Whites would consider former RB Leipzig boss Jesse Marsch, former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde and Huddersfield Town gaffer Carlos Corberan, if Bielsa leaves the club in the summer.

The Argentine tactician will be out of contract at the end of the season and still with no signs of renewal, suggestions Bielsa could call it a day in Yorkshire are beginning to mount.

Now, the latest in the ongoing saga comes from The Athletic’s Phil Hay, who has confirmed that the Whites do definitely think very highly of Corberan, who is doing some excellent work with the Terriers in the Championship.

Currently sitting in fifth place in the table, Huddersfield Town is well on course to win promotion back to the big time and although Corberan isn’t a big name in comparison with Marsch and Valverde, he is admired among Leeds United’s hierarchy.

Former Barcelona manager Ernesto Valverde is reportedly among the three candidates for the Leeds United manager’s job in case Marcelo Bielsa doesn’t stay at Elland Road.

While there’s no doubt that Bielsa has made a big contribution to Leeds’ recent success, it may be worth considering alternatives after a difficult second season in the Premier League.

Valverde is one of the big names in the frame for Leeds, according to the Telegraph, while Jesse Marsch and Carlos Corberan is also on the Yorkshire club’s radar.

Leeds will no doubt hope to persuade Bielsa to stay, but he’s often moved between different jobs throughout his career and his future remains uncertain.

Leeds should be an attractive job for top coaches, with the club having some fine young players on their books after some smart recruitment in recent years.

LUFC are also a big name with plenty of history, and look like they could soon be challengers to the top six again one day, as long as they do enough to secure their top flight survival this term.

Leeds United have received good news as it’s reported that coach Carlos Corberan will remain at Elland Road despite interest from Spain.

Marcelo Bielsa saw his side’s bid for promotion back to the Premier League collapse last season, as they suffered defeat to Derby County in the Championship playoffs semi-finals.

In turn, the club will have been desperate to keep the current coaching staff and playing squad together to regroup over the summer and go again next season in their bid to end their top-flight hiatus.

They’ve received more positive news as the Daily Star report that Corberan will snub interest from Spain and remain part of the backroom staff at Elland Road, while he has done fine work with the U23s side to ensure that he has emerged as a key figure at the club.

Bielsa will likely be delighted with the news too as he looks to mastermind a better outcome for Leeds next time round, with the focus on bringing in reinforcements where possible to strengthen the squad and club as a whole rather than spending time trying to replace outgoing individuals.
