According to The Mirror, Leeds are set to name Heckingbottom as their new head coach.
It has been reported that the Whites have activated the buy-out clause of close to £500,000 in the 40-year-old’s contract at Championship rivals Barnsley.

Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to speculation linking the club with Heckingbottom.
Below are some of the best comments:
It seems that Leeds fans are divided on the prospect of Heckingbottom becoming the team’s new head coach, and one can understand that.
The 40-year-old has had a relatively short career as manager so far, but the work he has done at Barnsley with limited resources is remarkable.
Leeds can still finish in the top six of the Championship this season, and Heckingbottom will have to hit the ground running at Elland Road.
