Would Leeds United fans swap Thomas Christiansen for Marco Silva?
Marco Silva’s spell as Watford manager has been cut short after the Hornets fired him on Sunday.
His sudden and unexpected availability has fans of several clubs keen for him to take over. Count Leeds United among them.
The Whites are in a poor run of form and lost a heart breaker at home to Millwall on Saturday, losing 4-3.
Manager Thomas Christiansen’s performance has come under scrutiny from some supporters, and many would happily swap him for Silva.
The former Greek Super League winner with Olympiakos had a previous spell at Hull City but did not fancy working in the Championship, so actually managing to get him would be a coup on Leeds’ part if they tried.
Silva was recently linked with the Everton job, with the Toffees having a £10 million approach for his services turned down by Watford in October.
That certainly looks a costly error now, but Silva won’t be short on job offers, with the perception widely being that he his sacking was harsh.
