Leeds United head coach frontrunners analysed as candidates bring contrasting pros and cons

Leeds United are still looking for the right man to lead them through their first campaign back in the Championship.

Steven Gerrard is currently considered to be the favourite for the role with Bet365, but there are a host of other names being touted by the bookmakers as potential candidates for Leeds.

Here’s a look at the current top six on the odds list, their background and their suitability.
