Former Leeds United player Michael Bridges has claimed he told the club to "keep an eye" on Ange Postecoglou years ago during a conversation with a board member in pre-season.
Postecoglou was one of the many names tipped to replace Jesse Marsch following the American's sacking over a fortnight ago. Javi Gracia's arrival put to bed what has been a frantic search to bring in a new head coach, with the Spaniard now just awaiting the green-light on a work permit before he can get to work.
The 52-year-old will have 15 games to keep Leeds in the Premier League, starting with a vital clash against Southampton this Saturday. However, if the club had listened to the advice of Bridges all those years ago, there may well be a very different face standing in the Elland Road dugout come this weekend.
