Leeds United are expected to choose a new manager by the end of the weekend, but Patrick Vieira is not the obvious favorite, according to reports.
The former Arsenal midfielder turns 47 on Friday and might be appointed manager of Leeds United.
According to new claims in the Yorkshire Evening Post, individuals close to the club believe the race is still wide open.
There have also been claims that the process is taking too long because more candidates have emerged later in the process.
Carlos Corberan was ruled out early in the process, but Vieira, Daniel Farke, and Scott Parker are still being considered.
Little has been said about Parker in recent weeks, leading to reports that it has become a two-horse race with the Frenchman in the lead.
He joined Palace in July 2021 and has led the club to a 12th-place finish in the Premier League, also reaching an FA Cup semi-final.
Despite a poor finish to his time at Selhurst Park, Viera has shown he knows how to build a project, particularly during his time in New York City.
Fans are most concerned about his playing style, which is significantly less expansive than that of competitor contender Daniel Farke.
While playing an attacking style of football, the German led Norwich to two Championship promotions.
He also appears to have the lively spirit you’d expect from a Leeds United manager.
Scott Parker may appear less mysterious, but in his stint as manager, he has also secured two Championship promotions.
Given the fans’ desire for entertaining football, we wouldn’t be surprised if Daniel Farke was named manager in the coming days.
