According to The Sun, Leeds United want Sevilla manager Julen Lopetegui to replace Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road if the Argentine leaves when his current contract ends.
The 65-year-old guided the Whites to Premier League promotion at the end of last season after failing in his first attempt in 2018-19, and he signed a new contract to remain at the club for the 2020-21 campaign.
Bielsa is in his third season at Leeds, and it remains to be seen if he will be keen to stay for 2021-22.
The Yorkshire giants would love to hold on to him for as long as possible given how he has turned things around since his arrival, but they have got a contingency plan in place should he opt to move on, with Gerrard also considered by Leeds management.
