Leeds Utd to appoint Redfearn permanently

Leeds United are set to appoint Neil Redfearn as permanent head coach.

The owner of the Championship club, Massimo Cellino, sacked Darko Milanic on Saturday just over 30 days after he was brought in from Sturm Graz and it is believed academy coach Redfearn will now return to the hotseat.

Sky Sports News HQ suggests that the Elland Road club are now set to bring in Redfearn, who acted as caretaker boss after Dave Hockaday was relieved of his duties in September, on a less temporary basis.

Redfearn's most recent stint as head coach - his third at Leeds - yielded three wins and a draw prior to Milanic taking the role which he was removed from yesterday.
