The powers that be at Leeds United have identified a tactician currently honing his craft in the Championship as a potential future instillation on the club’s bench, according to reports.
The subject of the manager’s position has of course taken its place front and centre in the headlines in west Yorkshire across much of the season to date.
This comes as questions continue to be asked of current head coach Jesse Marsch.
Though Leeds are often lauded for their performances on the pitch, they have long struggled to convert such efforts into actual points in the Premier League table.
Sitting just a solitary point clear of the bottom three despite considerable spending in both the summer and winter, calls, in turn, have inevitably begun to mount for the under-performing Marsch to be sent on his way.

And, as alluded to above, should such a development ultimately come to fruition, then one potential replacement for the American has seemingly already been identified.
Spanish tactician Corberan has been widely hailed for his efforts in the Championship of late, having guided West Bromwich Albion from legitimate relegation candidates to the promotion playoff places in the space of just a few months.
And, as per a report from the Daily Mail, such excellence has not gone at all unnoticed at Elland Road.
‘Carlos Corberan is emerging as a potential candidate to replace Jesse Marsch should Leeds United decide to make a managerial change’, it is claimed.
Any such move would actually mark a return to Leeds for Corberan, who previously earned plaudits for his work alongside Marcelo Bielsa during the Argentine’s famed reign at the club.
