Leeds expect to conclude their hunt for a manager next week and are conducting final interviews as they endeavour to identify the right candidate to lead a Championship promotion challenge.
Daniel Farke, the former Norwich manager recently sacked by Borussia Mönchengladbach in his native Germany, is on a shortlist that also includes the West Brom manager Carlos Corberán and Scott Parker.
Although Parker, formerly in charge at Fulham and Bournemouth, may prefer to fill Leicester’s vacancy, Corberán could be tempted by a return to the club where he served as first-team coach under Marcelo Bielsa before departing to take charge at Huddersfield.
Brendan Rodgers had been the first choice of a club in the process of completing a full takeover by the San Francisco-based investors 49er Enterprises but the former Leicester manager was reluctant to work in the second tier and preferred to return to Celtic.
