Leeds want a manager West Ham allegedly see as the long term successor to David Moyes after Jesse Marsch was axed.
As we reported earlier, there has been a major twist in the relegation battle after West Ham’s survival rivals Leeds United sacked Marsch on Monday.
While Moyes has clung on as Hammers boss despite just 14 wins in the last 48 Premier League games, West Ham have already cost managers of two relegation rivals their jobs this season.
And now it seems the Hammers played a part in a third as the axe falls on American Marsch at Leeds.
In a statement on Leeds United’s official website, the club confirmed Marsch has been sacked.
It comes after a run of seven Prem games without a win for Leeds, one of which was a 2-2 draw with West Ham at Elland Road.
Given what is at stake in the tightly-contested battle to avoid the drop, attentions now turn to who will replace Marsch in the Whites hotseat.
And it has emerged Leeds want the manager West Ham allegedly see as a long term Moyes successor after Marsch was axed.
According to a host of reports from the likes of The Daily Mail and The Sun, Leeds want Spaniard Carlos Corberan as their new boss.
West Ham fans will recognise the name because the West Brom manager was being heavily linked with them just a couple of weeks ago.
As reported on Hammers News, The Sun claim former Huddersfield boss and now Leeds target Corberan is the man West Ham want to take over from Moyes in the summer.
“The club (West Ham) are thinking of future and West Brom’s Carlos Corberan is being considered as a potential replacement beyond this season…” The Sun reported.
“He (Moyes) still has the backing of owner David Sullivan and the board, who are known not to have quick trigger fingers on managers.
“So it still seems likely that Moyes will be in place at the London Stadium for the remainder of the season.”
West Brom are currently in the shake-up for promotion to the Premier League, occupying 6th spot – the last play-off place.
