Former Leeds United head coach Jesse Marsch will be back at Elland Road in less than two weeks' time, should he be confirmed as Southampton's new manager.
Marsch is set to replace Nathan Jones as Southampton manager, according to reports from the Athletic, as the Saints waste no time in finding a replacement for the Welshman. A three month spell at St Mary's saw the 49-year-old only win one match as he leaves the club bottom of the league.
Leeds meanwhile are still waiting for a new head coach after Marsch left Elland Road just shy of having spent 12 months in charge. The American had only won one Premier League game since November - a 4-3 win vs Bournemouth - coming more than three months ago.

A 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest proved to be Marsch's final game in charge of Leeds, with a 0-0 draw vs Brentford in January being the last time he would lead the Whites at Elland Road - and for many supporters, they were glad to see the back of the American.
However, Marsch's apparent Southampton appointment will now see him return to Leeds' home stadium far sooner than anyone had initially anticipated. The Whites take on Everton this Saturday in a vital match for their relegation survival hopes and then host the Sains at Elland Road the following weekend.
Leeds fans can therefore circle February 25 in their calendars for Marsch's return, where he will be hoping to win a game at Elland Road for the first time in months - but this time at the expense of his former side.
