Patrick Vieira has moved to the top of the shortlist to fill the managerial vacancy at Leeds as the club’s board conducts its final round of interviews this week.
Although Daniel Farke and Scott Parker remain in contention, Vieira appears in pole position after indicating an enthusiasm for succeeding Sam Allardyce at Elland Road. The former Arsenal and France midfielder was dismissed by Crystal Palace in March but had previously impressed at Selhurst Park and retains admirers among the Leeds hierarchy.
