Steve Evans Recommendations

STEVE EVANS' RECOMMENDATIONS

02/06/18

Leeds United should consider appointing either Steve Bruce or Mick McCarthy as their new manager, says former boss Steve Evans.

The Championship side are searching for their 10th manager in just over five years after sacking Paul Heckingbottom on Friday.

The current favourite to take over at Leeds is former Argentina and Marseille boss Marcelo Bielsa. However, Evans believes the club should consider managers with more experience in the second tier.

He told Sky Sports News: "They're perhaps going to an Argentinian (Bielsa). I think his reputation in the game on a worldwide basis is phenomenal. But will he know what it's like going to the New York Stadium in Rotherham on a Tuesday night? I'm not so sure.

"But I'm looking at Steve Bruce and Mick McCarthy - English managers with track records of getting out of the Championship - and why are they not knocking on those doors?"
