Some Leeds United fans on Twitter have named Carlos Corberan as their dream Marcelo Bielsa successor.
The Spanish coach of course worked at Leeds for a number of years as U23s manager and Marcelo Bielsa’s right-hand man, and once again he has been brought to the forefront of some Leeds fans’ minds.
Indeed, Phil Hay carried out an interview with Romario Vieira for The Athletic this week, and the former Leeds player had a number of good things to say about Corberan.
“He changed me as a player, for way, way better,” Romario told The Athletic. “Honestly, that guy — if he’s not the next Bielsa or (Pep) Guardiola, I’ll be surprised.”
As you can imagine, such comments caused a bit of a stir amongst the Leeds fanbase, and fans were quickly calling for him to replace Bielsa one day.
Of course, nobody wants to imagine Leeds United without Bielsa at the helm, but the fact of the matter is that he’s not getting any younger, and he will unfortunately need replacing one day.
The current Huddersfield manager certainly knows the club, and fans believe he would be a prime candidate.
