Leeds United Under-23 coach Carlos Corberan is reportedly on the radar of Cultural Leonesa.

According to The Yorkshire Evening Post, Cultural Leonesa are interested in appointing Leeds United Under-23 coach Carlos Corberan as their new first-team manager.

It has been reported that the Spanish club have made an approach, and that Corberan is considering his future at Leeds.

The report has also claimed that the Championship club want to keep hold of the 36-year-old Spaniard and want him to stay in his current role as the Whites’ Under-23 side’s coach.

Tempting move?

Cultural Leonesa are in the third tier of Spanish football, but the chance to be a senior first-team manager will be tempting for Corberan.

After all, the 36-year-old will have ambition to become a manager himself, and he may not get the chance to become one at Leeds, who will have Marcelo Bielsa in charge of the first team for the 2019-20 campaign at least.

It will be interesting to see what Corberan does, and who Leeds appoint in his place as the Under-23 coach should the Spaniard leave.
