Two-time Championship promotion winner Daniel Farke is the front runner to take over at Elland Road following the Whites relegation from the Premier League. Leeds United are still awaiting the green light from the EFL to approve 49ers Enterprises' takeover at the club after agreeing a deal with Andrea Radrizzani.
The Whites have been unable to make any inroads in the transfer market with pre-season fast approaching. There have been plenty of candidates linked with the vacant managerial position at Elland Road this summer.
Patrick Vieira was one of the big names linked with the managerial hot seat after Sam Allardyce's departure last month, but he looks set to move to Ligue 1 club Strasbourg. That leaves former Norwich City boss Farke as the outstanding candidate and he's expected to take over the reins at Elland Road in the coming weeks.
It may not be a name that stirs excitement among the Whites' fanbase, but former boss Marcelo Bielsa knows all too well about the quality of coming up against Farke's sides. The two managers locked horns during the 2018/19 season, with Leeds running out 3-0 winners at Carrow Road.

Goals from Mateusz Klich, Gjanni Alioski, and Pablo Hernandez picked up[ a vital three points early on in the campaign, but it was the Canaries who would top the pile come the end of the season.
Speaking prior to the clash in August 2018, Bielsa said: "Norwich is a team that plays better than the points they have. And they won their first game and I think we will play against them and they will have enthusiasm very high, which is good for us.
"It’s a team that attacks very well. They are designed to attack. It doesn’t mean they don’t defend well but they have a creative profile.”
