Leeds United have hired highly rated coach Michael Skubala to take charge of the club’s under-21 side. Skubala has been appointed as a permanent replacement for Mark Jackson, who left the role earlier this year in order to take up a first-team coaching position under Jesse Marsch.
The former FA employee is highly thought of and while he has worked with England’s development teams on a consultancy basis recently, he also coached the national futsal team. With the Premier League 2 season starting next week, Skubala will be expected to get to work immediately and the hope is he will be able to help produce even more talent for the first-team.
Here’s a look at just some of the tasks facing him as he gets to grips with the role.
