Brian Deane has said on Twitter that Leeds United should appoint Rafael Benitez as their manager.
The former Leeds striker believes that Benitez, 62, is the perfect manager for the Premier League club at the moment.
Deane has noted the credentials that make the former Newcastle United and Everton boss perfect for Leeds.
The West Yorkshire club are on the hunt for a new manager following the sacking of Jesse Marsch.
Leeds are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of the season.
Leeds United told to appoint Rafael Benitez
Good managerial appointment for Leeds
In our view, Rafael Benitez would be a very good managerial appointment for Leeds United, at least in the short term.
The former Real Madrid manager is out of work at the moment.
Yes, we know that Benitez is a very defensive-minded coach, but he is available now and has been very successful in his career, especially in England.
What is the harm in Leeds handing the managerial role to Benitez for the rest of the season, if he is willing to sign a short-term deal?
If Leeds are unable to find their perfect manager for the long term, then they would be wise to go down this route and get someone like Benitez in for the next few months.
