Blackpool manager Michael Appleton was considered for key Leeds United role in the summer

Blackpool manager Michael Appleton was on Leeds United's radar to become Jesse Marsch's assistant manager at Elland Road before taking the job at Bloomfield Road.

The 46-year-old departed his former club Lincoln City at the end of last season, leaving them in League One where they're currently struggling in 15th.

Appleton is now in his second stint with the Seasiders, after managing them back in 2012 where he resigned after just 11 games but nearly arrived at Elland Road according to The Athletic.
