Michael Skubala probably didn’t expect to find himself in such a situation at Leeds United, as he prepares to take charge of his second match in charge of the first team.
Along with Chris Armas and Paco Gallardo, he will be in the Whites' dugout against Manchester United while the club’s hierarchy looks to appoint Jesse Marsch’s successor.
The Under-21s boss might not be entirely comfortable being placed into such a high-profile role, but supporters will be hoping he can provide a reaction as Man United head to Elland Road on Sunday.
