Some Leeds United fans on Twitter would like to see Zeljko Buvac replace Paul Heckingbottom as head coach this summer.

Speculation is rife that Buvac will leave his role as Liverpool’s assistant manager imminently [The Guardian].

However, Sky Sports reported today that the Reds were “confident” of keeping the Bosnian on Merseyside.

Buvac, whose nickname is ‘the brain’, worked alongside Klopp at Borussia Dortmund and has played a role in the German manager’s successful career thus far.

Heckingbottom only arrived at Leeds in February after Thomas Christiansen’s sacking, but three wins from 15 Championship games mean that he isn’t all that popular in West Yorkshire just yet.

And some fans of the Elland Road club would like to see the 56-year-old replace the former Barnsley boss, if he leaves Liverpool.

Buvac has been Klopp’s right-hand man for the past 17 years, dating back to his time at Mainz, and not only is it uncertain that he will leave Liverpool, but he has little to no experience of being a first-team manager.
