Those close to Steven Gerrard believe he has 'strong chance' of Leeds United job
Those close to former Aston Villa and Rangers boss Steven Gerrard believe he has a 'strong chance' of landing the Leeds United job.
That is according to the Athletic, who claim former Bournemouth and Fulham boss Scott Parker is also under consideration, alongside former Leicester and Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers and current West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan.
Gerrard's assistant at both Rangers and Villa, Gary McAllister, is a club legend at Elland Road and was invited to give the squad a pep talk ahead of the last game of the Premier League season.
Rangers legend Ally McCoist details his Steven Gerrard to Leeds United fears
Amid the backdrop of takeover saga which finally looks to be entering its endgame, Leeds United's search for a new head coach continues.

Bowyer, who spent six-and-a-half seasons at Elland Road and has also talked up his desire to take the helm in West Yorkshire as the club continues their search for a new boss, told talkSPORT how he would get Leeds promoted at the first attempt.
“You do it the way Bielsa did it, you play this expansive and attacking football. That’s what the fans there cry out for and as long as you're on the front foot and you're pressing that’s why everyone loved them so much," he said.
