Leeds United have reprtedly agreed a deal for Michael Skubala to become their under-21s head coach. The Daily Mail claim that the former England futsal head coach is set to fill the vacancy.
Leeds have been on the hunt for a new under-21s head coach after Mark Jackson, who led the side last season, was promoted to Jesse Marsch's staff as first-team coach.
For the last 12 months, Skubala has been working as an under-18s coach at the Football Association - working with the Youth Development Phase and Professional Development Phase outfits.

Skubala was appointed as England’s Futsal head coach in 2016. He led the side to Four Nations glory in April 2019 before leaving his post in January 2021.
He has plenty of experience in youth football having been an academy coach at both Coventry City and Nottingham Forest.
Skubala also spent a long time at Loughborough University in a couple of different roles. He was the futsal head coach and assistant first-team coach between 2008 and 2014, before becoming director of football for just over four years.
The Premier League 2 Division 2 season kicks off on Friday, August 5, and the vastly-experienced youth coach Skubala looks set to be the man in the Whites dugout, according to reports.
