Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has told David Anderson, a football reporter for the Daily Mirror, that he is meeting a potential new manager in Italy.
Yesterday, an approach was made to Bristol Rovers to discuss the vacancy with Darrell Clarke. Steve Evans, who is still employed by Leeds as their head coach, is expected to return to work today.
About the potential individual in question, Cellino claims it is someone who is not Italian but does speak very good English. That indicates the person isn’t in fact English, but quite likely European-based.
Approximately a month ago, Cellino stated that he finds it difficult to work with English managers, but yesterday’s approach for Clarke and the recent discussion with MK Dons boss Karl Robinson hints at a mixed agenda with the Italian.
Cellino clearly isn’t sure on who to appoint as the new manager of Leeds United Football Club. He is going through potential candidates very quickly, and ironically it is possibly tghat reason why the job is less appealing. However is approached now will know that they are probably not even first, second or maybe even third choice. Steve Evans appears to be ranked even lower in that spectrum!
One more name which has started to appear out of nowhere is Roberto Stellone. He managed Frosinone in Serie A last season, but was sacked a day after the season ended, which culminated in their relegation back to Serie B.
It is understood that Crotone manager Ivan Juric isn’t under consideration, although he has supposedly stated that he has turned down the role already.
Darryl - would you really commit your future to this head case, give it a wide birth and build upon what you have started
