With Angus Kinnear director, he was supposed to move to Everton next season, Leeds United They allegedly welcomed their sights with a key figure to start their restructuring away from the field.
Leeds set up to lose Kinnear
Despite sitting a top Priority And on the way to secure their place in the Premier League at the second moment of searching, Leeds is unlikely to have other choices but to restruct yourself from the terrain of kindness of the probable Kinnear departure. The executive director will at least see the current campaign, but then he seemingly returns to the drawing board for 49ers.
Kinnear has been to Elland Road since 2017, monitoring the promotion back to the top flight for the first time in 16 years in 2020. Before watching Leeds suffered to relegate to the 2022/23 campaign. Now two seasons, he could bow down with Another promotion Before replacing Yorkshire for Merseyside and Leeds for Everton.

However, it is the output that 49ers are already planning, and one special option recently appears as one of their best candidates to replace their executive director this summer.
Leeds targets Samir Arabi
According to Sky Sports Germany, Leeds and 49ers now target the move for Samir Arabi to replace Kinnear This summer. The 46-year-old was a sports director in Arminia Bielefeld 12 years before leaving in the summer of 2023. At that time, like Kinnear, he also supervised promotion and relegation while Bielefeld struggled to become a foreign Bundesliga.
A man who knows German football well, Arabi could work well with Daniel Farka To continue Leeds’ recent trend of signing players from Bundesliga, especially if they are in the Premier League in their first season at the helm.
The characters of AO Tanaka and Ilia Gruev have arrived from Germany in recent years, and Tanaka has particularly impressed in the heart of Leeds’ side for automatic promotion.
So, Arabi’s arrival would surely help build that trend, but there may still be concern about his experience. In addition to his long -term stay in Bielefeld, the only previous experience of sports director came as a major scout at the third division club Alemannia Aachen, which should be taken care of on those on Elland Road.
If the whites will return to the Premier League and stay up at the first moment of searching, then they cannot take such cubes. Arabi may have enjoyed a solid period in Bielefeld, but the Premier League and the Leeds job are a far greater task – one that requires an experience he probably lacks.
This was said, whether it was an Arabia or another candidate, the 49ers certainly have a great decision to make Kinnear’s probable way out this summer.
