The former Swansea City manager’s availability has got some Leeds United fans talking.

Paul Heckingbottom, Manager of Leeds United looks on prior to the Sky Bet Championship match between Fulham and Leeds United at Craven Cottage on April 3, 2018 in London, England.

Some Leeds United fans think Michael Laudrup could be the next Whites manager.

Paul Heckingbottom’s future at Elland Road remains uncertain after an uninspiring first three months at the helm, while Laudrup is newly unemployed after his contract with Al Rayyan expired.

Here’s what they’re saying about the former Swansea City boss on Twitter…

Others however have cast doubt on Leeds’ chances of appointing Laudrup, who revealed earlier this year that he was ‘coming to the end of my time as a coach’ (Marca).

However, the 53-year-old went on to clarify: “I am in my final stages as a coach, this job in Qatar will be my ultimate or penultimate.”

Laudrup, who played for Juventus, Barcelona and Real Madrid at the height of his playing career, landed his first coaching role 18 years ago, working as Morten Olsen’s Denmark number two.

The Dane has experienced mixed fortunes as a manager, although he has won silverware at three of his seven clubs – Brondby, Swansea and Lekhwiya.

Would the former Swansea boss be a good appointment for Leeds United?
