Paul Heckingbottom took a risk by moving across Yorkshire from Barnsley to be the latest man to oversee promotion at Leeds United and it has not paid off after he was sacked after under four months in charge.
After Garry Monk got Leeds moving in the right direction in 2016/17, it was a season of regression at Elland Road as Thomas Christiansen’s bright start petered out to the extent that he failed to win a game between Boxing Day and his sacking in early February.
That was before Heckingbottom arrived, hoping that a Yorkshire influence would be just the ticket for Leeds; but unable to use the transfer window to bring in his own players, he oversaw just four wins after his move across the city and paid with his job.
One shock name who has reportedly emerged in the frame to replace Heckingbottom is experienced manager Marcelo Bielsa, 62, who has managed the Argentina and Chile national team.
He is something of a unique personality and with no knowledge of English football and a macap reputation following him, Leeds fans are far from convinced…
