Former Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira is reportedly under consideration for the head coach vacancy at Leeds United.

The 46-year-old has been out of work since he was axed as
Palace boss in March 2023. However, according to Sky Sports, he is among the
names being considered by the Leeds hierarchy.
Vieira began his senior management career with New York
City, before taking the reins at French outfit Nice. He was appointed by
Crystal Palace in July 2021 but was replaced with the man he had initially
succeeded, Roy Hodgson, earlier this year.
Leeds are preparing for a return to the Championship and
will be hoping their next head coach stays in post for the long-term, having
already had four figures at the helm this calendar year.
Sky Sports have reported that candidate interviews are
scheduled to take place this week, with former Norwich City head coach Daniel
Farke said to be among those meeting with the club.
Various names have been linked with the Elland Road vacancy
since Sam Allardyce’s exit, with West Bromwich Albion boss Carlos Corberan
among those said to be on the club’s radar. However, Sky Sports understand no
approach has been made for the Spaniard, who previously held the title of
under-23s coach at Leeds.
