Neil Redfearn takes the Leeds United job confident in his long-term future.
Redfearn has been put back in charge of the first team at Elland Road after Massimo Cellino sacked Darko Milanic after just 32 days in the job.
The axing of the Slovenian was entirely in keeping with his past, having seen off 36 managers in 22 years with Italian side Cagliari, and once Redfearn pens a contract he will become his fourth permanent Leeds boss in five months.
Redfearn told the Yorkshire Evening Post: "I had a meeting with Massimo today. Nothing has been put down in concrete, but I wanted to see how he saw it going forward.
"I don't want this to be a short-term thing, that is no good for anybody.
"He told me that he sees me here for the long haul and that he wanted me here with him and that he does not see this as a short-term thing.
"I get on really well with him and work well with him and understand where he is coming from. He is genuinely trying to do well for the club and I can do with that."
