'Andrea wants you' - Leeds fans react to Pep Clotet tweet
By Will Butcher
Leeds fans have urged Pep Clotet to return from his holiday in Italy on Twitter in order to become Garry Monk’s successor as manager.
The Yorkshire giants are without a man at the helm following ex-Swansea boss Monk’s shock decision to resign, after talks broke down over a new deal with owner Andrea Radrizzani.
Posting on his personal Twitter account, Clotet told fans he was “Enjoying a few days in Italy” after a demanding season that saw Leeds miss out on the Championship play-offs by one place.

Sky Bet claim the 40-year-old is the second favourite to go from assistant manager to manager at Elland Road behind Aitor Karanka, after being Monk’s no.2 throughout the 2016-17 season.
The Barcelona-born coach has had spells as manager at La Liga reserve sides Malaga B and Espanyol B as well Swedish outfit Halmstad in 2011.

Andrea wants you at his place, Pep. Get signed up.
