Leeds fans were delighted about Paul Heckingbottom’s departure on Friday, and they’ve got a pretty optimistic target lined up to replace him.
Paul Heckingbottom officially left Leeds this week, after just four wins since taking over from Thomas Christiansen in February.
The ex-Barnsley man struggled to imprint his desired style of play on the side, and the club have decide he cannot take them to the promised land of Premier League football.
While there is no concrete news about his replacement, ex-Lille manager Marcelo Bielsa is the front-runner to take over.

Leeds fans have come up with a much more ambitious target though – departing Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.
The three-time Champions League winner left Real Madrid this week, and a shock swoop for the Frenchman would certainly ruffle a few feathers in the Championship.
The suggestions are of course tongue in cheek, but there are more than a couple of fans calling for the Madrid legend to take over, in what would surely be the most bizarre thing to happen at Leeds since… they went to Myanmar last month.
