Smiles have never been far from Michael Skubala’s face since taking the reins at Leeds United. It’s abundantly clear how much the under-21s boss is enjoying this step up.
There is, he admits, one large obstacle he has to clear most days and it will tally with many fans’ own daily lives. Twenty-four hours in the day just don’t seem like enough to get everything done.
Skubala has thrived on the opportunity to work with some of the best footballers in Europe on a daily basis. He has also loved coming up with tactical plans that might stop a Manchester United or an Everton.
