Former Middlesbrough and Fulham goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has put forward a left-field shout for who Leeds United should pursue as their next manager – and his suggestion received a big thumbs up from former Whites forward Michael Bridges.
Leeds United need to consider their next course of action after Sam Allardyce failed to keep them in the Premier League in his four games in charge, and Bridges had been enthusiastically pushing forward Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou as a candidate for the job at Elland Road on the GegenPod Football Podcast.
Schwarzer made an alternative suggestion, however, pointing out that his former Australia teammate Kevin Muscat had done an excellent job since taking over from Postecoglou at Japanese side Yokohama F. Marinos, just as he had after succeeding the same man at Melbourne Victory after working as his assistant. After winning two league titles in Australia, Muscat led Yokohama to last year’s J-League title, with the club currently challenging for the title again as the competition approaches its halfway point.
