Leeds United have two leading candidates to take over as the club's new manager: Benito Carbone and Gianfranco Zola.
The Yorkshire giants are looking for a new manager following their decision to part ways with Brian McDermott recently.
Leeds, owned by Italian businessman Massimo Cellino, are implementing a new management structure at Elland Road, which will see the new boss take on a more continental style coaching role.
According to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Carbone and Zola lead the list of candidates for the post.
