Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson is confident Nick Hammond will hold significant sway on the appointment of the club's next manager. Former Norwich City boss Daniel Farke is expected to be unveiled as Sam Allardyce's successor in the Elland Road dugout, once the club's takeover is approved by the EFL.
The Whites have returned to pre-season without a new man in the hotseat, and with doubts still swirling around a host of first-team stars. Marc Roca is expected to be the third departure of the window so far, with Real Betis said to be leading the race for the former Bayern Munich midfielder.
Leeds remain in the midst of a significant rebuild ahead of their return to the Championship, with Hammond drafted in on a temporary basis in the wake of Victor Orta's exit. The former director of football at Reading and head of football operations at Celtic served in a similar consultancy role at Newcastle United following their takeover in October 2021.
