Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino reportedly wants Watford boss Quique Sanchez Flores to step into the breach at Elland Road.

Quique Sanchez Flores is reportedly owner Massimo Cellino's number one choice to fill the managerial void at Leeds United.

Recent speculation claimed that John Sheridan was in pole position to replace Steve Evans, who is expected to be relieved of his duties at Elland Road in the near future.

However, the Daily Star has claimed that Watford boss Flores is the preferred option for Cellino.

Despite having guided Watford to Premier League safety and the FA Cup semi-finals this season, there have been suggestions that the Hornets will look to disperse of the Spaniard's services this summer.
