New Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has not made the ideal start to life at Elland Road.
Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani has taken to Twitter to clarify the news over Garry Monk’s shock departure from Elland Road.
Leeds announced today that Monk had resigned from his post as the Whites’ manager.
The 38-year-old’s departure has highly disappointed Leeds fans, with some directing their anger at Radrizzani.
However, the Yorkshire side’s new owner has defended himself by suggesting that Monk never wanted to stay on at Elland Road.
Monk had guided Leeds into seventh place in the Championship table during his first season in charge.
The Whites pushed for promotion, but ultimately just fell short.
Monk had previously suggested that if he was handed a new deal, Leeds would be in a good place to finish in the top six next season.
However, the former Swansea boss is now seeking a new job.
Monk has been touted as a potential candidate for the likes of Sunderland, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough.
Meanwhile, Aitor Karanka is currently the bookies’ favourite to take over at Leeds.
