Leeds United fans have every right to feel frustrated as their club approaches a third Premier League game without a permanent head coach. The Whites confirmed on their official channels on Tuesday afternoon that Michael Skubala will continue to lead the team for the upcoming fixtures, starting with the must-win game against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Skubala has done a fine job during his time in the hotseat, considering he has little to no experience of coaching at a professional first-team level in the 11-a-side game. Stepping up from the club’s Under-21s, he has helped steady the ship following last week’s dismissal of Jesse Marsch and he’s managed to oversee signs of progress on the field.
With Skubala in the dugout, Leeds held Manchester United to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford before turning in another promising performance at Elland Road against Erik ten Hag’s side a few days later. The Red Devils quality shone through late in the contest in the most recent meeting, but the caretaker will be given the chance to build on the displays this weekend.
