McCoist proposes Premier League legend to replace Daniel Farke at Leeds

Leeds United manager Daniel Farke is facing an uncertain future at Elland Road after the club poor performances this season.

The results have been disastrous for the Whites and fans are starting to get impatient.

Leeds are currently 16th in the Premier League table, just one point above the relegation zone and considering how their form has deteriorated over the past few weeks, they may find themselves in the relegation zone soon.

Before it’s too late and it becomes impossible to save their season, fans have called for a change in the dugout.

Football pundit Ally McCoist has now joined the conversation and suggested a name who would be ideal for Leeds in this situation.

McCoist has suggested the name of Steven Gerrard, who is currently a free agent.

The former English midfielder has the experience of manager Aston Villa in the Premier League and Al Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, although at both the clubs, Gerrard failed to achieve anything significant and struggled.

“Would Steven Gerrard be interested in the Leeds job? You’ve got to appreciate there is someone in the Leeds job. It is really important for Steven, his next appointment. It’s absolutely vital for him,” he said on talkSPORT.

The fans are hoping that the club will use the current international break to make a change and appoint someone who can ensure their safety in the Premier League.

Is Gerrard the right man? It is difficult to say but his record in the Premier League is not impressive.

Gerrard struggled at Villa and look at how Unai Emery has performed with the same Villa side and how intelligent he has been in signing young players and making them perform.

There are questions over Gerrard as a manager since he has still not proven himself in the Premier League.

There are other options that Leeds could consider to replace Farke but Gerrard is certainly not someone who would bring confidence to the fans.
