Future plans between Leeds United and Marcelo Bielsa have hit the headlines in every year of his tenure, but serious candidates for succession are emerging for the first time.

The Daily Telegraph has reported twice already this month on the succession planning going on at Elland Road. First, there was a shortlist and then today Jesse Marsch has been branded the club’s first choice.
