Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani does not want Marcelo Bielsa back at Elland Road, with Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou and Kjetil Knutsen on his shortlist, according to The Daily Star.

Kjetil Knutsen and Ange Postecoglou on Leeds United shortlist

The report has claimed that Leeds’s four-man shortlist includes Carlos Corberan of West Bromwich Albion, Bodø/Glimt boss Kjetil Knutsen and Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou.

Bielsa is not on the list.

Radrizzani does not want the Argentine back at Leeds.

Former Rangers and Aston Villa manager Steven Gerrard is not on the radar of Leeds either, according to the report.

Norwegian manager Knutsen, 54, has been in charge of Bodø/Glimt since 2018 and has won the Eliteserien twice – in 2020 and 2021.

Leeds are on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of Jesse Marsch yesterday.

The West Yorkshire club are in danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.

Who is the likeliest candidate to come to Elland Road?

We do not think that Ange Postecoglou will leave Celtic for Leeds United in the middle of the season.

After all, Celtic are set to win the Scottish Premiership title this season, while Leeds could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.

Carlos Corberan is in charge of West Bromwich Albion at the moment.

With the Baggies in the running for the Championship playoffs, would the Spaniard be willing to jump ship now?

Would West Brom let the Spaniard leave?

Kjetil Knutsen might be the easiet candidate to get now, as he could decide to leave FK Bodø/Glimt for a massive club in Leeds.
