Matt Kilgallon would back the appointment of Daniel Farke at Leeds United after a positive reference from Norwich City defender Grant Hanley.
Former Canaries boss Farke has emerged as a leading contender for Leeds having left Borussia Monchengladbach at the end of last season. The German head coach has two promotions to the Premier League on his CV, making him an attractive proposition for Whites officials as they plot an immediate promotion from the Championship this season.
Having graduated through Leeds' academy before enjoying a respectable career, Kilgallon clearly still keeps a close eye on developments at Elland Road. And with Farke in contention, the former defender revealed that he called upon his former team-mate to get the lowdown on the potential replacement for Sam Allardyce.
