Former Juventus and AC Milan coach Max Allegri is on Leeds United's radar.
The Sunday Times says Leeds remain hopeful that Marcelo Bielsa will sign a contract extension at Elland Road, but there are plans in place if this does not happen.
Allegri has been identified as a potential replacement for the Whites manager.
Allegri has been without a job in football since leaving Juventus at the end of the 2018/19 season - where the Italian coach led the Old Lady to multiple Serie A titles.
There is no suggestion that Bielsa will not sign a new deal with Leeds before the campaign ends, but if the unthinkable does happen, then Andrea Radrizzani has made sure the club is prepared.
