Leeds United sporting director Victor Orta is reportedly an admirer of Preston North End manager Ryan Lowe. That is according to Sky Sports commentator Gary Weaver, who made the claim live on air during Preston’s 1-1 draw with Burnley on Tuesday night at Deepdale.
Lowe is still very much in the early days of his management career but is clearly highly rated in the world of football given his rise up the Football League. His first job came in the dugout at Bury and in his first full season in charge, guided them to promotion from League Two.
Bury’s crippling financial issues, though, meant they were kicked out of the EFL and so upon Lowe’s exit from the club, he once again dropped down into League Two. Again, Lowe guided them to promotion in his first full season at the club.
