Leeds eye Lopetegui as Bielsa successor

Leeds United are planning for a post-Marcelo Bielsa future with the Argentine's contract set to expire at the end of the year. The current manager is still yet to clear up his future.

According to 'The Sun', Leeds are lining up possible replacements and are already in talks with Sevilla's Julen Lopetegui.

The Spaniard has worked wonders at the Sánchez-Pizjuan after leaving Real Madrid, carrying Sevilla to fourth in La Liga and winning the Europa League.

Lopetegui is under contract until 2022 and that may complicate any deal. Steven Gerrard is among other candidates being discussed.
