Harry Kewell could reportedly replace a former Leeds United boss in Scotland.

Harry Kewell is a figure who Leeds United fans love to hate.

A year ago tomorrow, on November 13, supporters of the Elland Road club rejoiced over the news that Notts County had fired their former winger after only 14 matches in charge.

The 41-year-old manager has been out of work ever since, but now he’s being linked with replacing a recent Leeds boss.

According to The Scottish Sun, Kewell is in the frame for the Hibernian job and the Easter Road side have even spoken to him.

Hibs have needed a manager since sacking Paul Heckingbottom last week, with the Englishman being in charge of Leeds before Marcelo Bielsa took the reins in the summer of 2018.

Heckingbottom, who replaced Thomas Christiansen, wasn’t a big hit in West Yorkshire, evident by the fact he lasted a mere four months and won just four Championship games from February until May.

It looks like Kewell is among the candidates to replace the former Barnsley boss, and no doubt Whites fans will want him to fail North of the border too.

The Australian spoiled his legacy with United for a number of reasons, but joining Galatasaray was passing the point of no return in regards to the fans’ lasting perception of him.
