Leeds ‘took interest’ in 39-year-old to become Marsch successor – Manager ‘remained faithful’ to club

Leeds United face Everton in the league clash on Saturday and it will be their third fixture without a permanent manager.

On February 6th, the Whites sacked Jesse Marsch and are searching the market to appoint his successor.

Michael Skubala has been appointed as the interim manager and Leeds confirmed earlier this week that he will continue to lead the club for the “upcoming fixtures”.

The Premier League side have seen Rayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola and Feyenoord manager Arne Slot already reject an opportunity to join them. Carlos Corberán can also be added to this list.

Mundo Deportivo state the 39-year-old’s work at West Bromwich Albion has caught Leeds’ attention so much so that they ‘took an interest’ in him and thought of appointing him as Marsch’s successor.

The Spaniard didn’t entertain the Premier League side and ‘remained faithful’ to West Brom.

He feels comfortable at the Hawthorns, where he has extended the deal until 2027.

Corberán joined the Championship side last October and has helped West Brom collect 30 points from 14 league matches. This has seen them sit in the 10th spot, trailing sixth placed Watford by two points.
