Valverde, alternative to Bielsa

Leeds United already manages a list of candidates to replace Marcelo Bielsa and among them is the Spanish Ernesto Valverde. The ‘Loco’ contract ends next June and his stage seems to be over. The wear of the project can be seen in the resultswith the team fighting to avoid relegation. Although renewal is not ruled out, in recent weeks there had even been rumors of the possibility that he would be dismissed if the victories did not come. For the moment, The information from the Telegraph points to applicants for the summer and, except for a major blow to the continuity of the team in the Premier, no drastic decisions will be made.

Even the Telegraph slips that, at this time, the club would not look badly on its continuity for a fifth season. Even so, he has no choice but to think of alternatives. Jesse Marsch, Ernesto Valverde and the also Spanish Carlos Corberán are on the table. The first ended his time at Leipzig and, since then, he has played for different teams on the European continent. It remains to be seen if his cache is not high enough to take charge of a project that, in principle, is not designed to fight in European competitions.

Two Spanish technicians are also in the pools. Ernesto Valverde was already the one chosen by Athletic Club to replace Bielsa. That bet worked perfectly and the philosophy remained intact. Later, he did a good job at Barcelona, ​​but European failures condemned him to dismissal. This same season he was able to join Manchester United as an interim until the possibility of signing a reference coach. Finally, they trusted rangnick.

The lowest profile of this string is that of Carlos Corberán. The current Huddersfield manager was one of Marcelo Bielsa’s assistants. However, he opted for his solo career and went down to the Championship to take charge of a project that fights at the top for a place in the Premier. Víctor Orta, sports director of Leeds, knows that the best way to continue the brilliant stage of ‘Loco’ is to sign someone of his profile. Corberán meets those expectations, although he does not have enough experience in the elite.

yes it has her Diego Martinez, another of the names raised by the Telegraph. The Spanish made history with the grenade. He got promotion to the First Division and ended up putting the team in the Europa League. However, he decided to leave, believing that his stage was over. Since then, he has not taken any bench, waiting for a high project to come to him. Perhaps it is the one from Leeds, although, according to the English newspaper, he is the last on the list.
