Takeover and transition of power has been the story of the summer at Leeds United and it continues to play its part in the next big decision. While an agreement is in place between Aser Ventures and 49ers Enterprises, until the final paperwork is cleared by the EFL, Andrea Radrizzani remains majority shareholder and chairman.
Radrizzani’s name is above the door still, but talks with prospective head coaches have taken place in London this week with chairman-elect Paraag Marathe and chief executive Angus Kinnear, among other decision-makers. While that process has been able to move forward with some confidence after the takeover agreement, formally announcing a new boss may have to wait a little longer.
LeedsLive understands the new administration wants to ensure everything is done in the right order and, ideally, with the takeover officially ratified before a new head coach is announced. There is confidence down the corridors of Elland Road the new era’s owners and directors will get the green light in the coming days.
