Amid a backdrop of relegation and an ongoing takeover saga, Leeds United are currently looking for their fourth head coach of 2023.
Sam Allardyce was unable to drag the Whites out of the relegation mud, earning just one point after he was handed a four-match SOS mission last month, with the club confirming that the former Bolton boss would not be continuing at Elland Road next season on Friday.
And while Andrea Radrizzani balances his proposed takeover of Sampdoria with talks with 49ers Enterprises over the future ownership of Leeds United, officials at the club will know that they cannot afford to wait too long in order to appoint their next head coach, as something of a summer rebuild is needed ahead of what will be a gruelling return to Championship football.

Leeds took their time finding a replacement for Jesse Marsch back in February and were knocked back by a number of coaches before Javi Gracia was hired for what would be just a 12-match spell before Allardyce's last-ditch appointment.
The managers linked with the post this time have something of a different look, with the likes of Arne Slot and Andoni Iraola not being as strongly considered.
The past 24 hours has seen Steven Gerrard linked by the Telegraph, while Football Insider report that West Bromwich Albion are bracing themselves for an approach by Leeds for Carlos Corberan, the Whites' former under-23s coach and first-team assistant under Marcelo Bielsa.
Here is a look at the latest betting, via bet365, with both Gerrard and Corberan seeing their prices cut over the last day:
