Leeds are yet to replace Paul Heckingbottom in the managerial hotseat at Elland Road.
Former Leeds United goalkeeper Paul Robinson has joked on Twitter that after earning his coaching badges, he has his sights set on the vacant managerial hotseat at Elland Road – but fans reacted in a much more serious fashion.
Robinson, 38, came through the Leeds academy before making his debut in 1998 and remaining in the senior side for six years before being sold in 2004 following the club’s relegation to the Championship.
He has since undergone the process in which you must to obtain your coaching badges, after finally retiring from professional football with Premier League side Burnley at the end of the 2016-17 campaign.
He posted on Twitter “next stop, Leeds manager” after going on a course to gain the necessary qualifications, with the Whites yet to replace former Barnsley boss Paul Heckingbottom after sacking him last month.
Leeds have been continually linked with a move for Argentine boss Marcelo Bielsa, while The Telegraph claimed last week that the club had made an approach to land Aston Villa manager Steve Bruce.
But Leeds fans reacted to Robinson’s joke Tweet, stating that he could come into contention if not for the manager’s role, but at least some sort of coaching position.
