Alan Stubbs and Dean Smith are both still in the race but Neil Redfearn seems all-but-confirmed to be heading to the New York Stadium.
Rotherham United have named Neil Redfearn as their next manager.
Should Rotherham appoint Redfearn, the 50-year-old would be in line for a quick return to his former club with Leeds welcoming the Millers to Elland Road on Saturday, November 21.
“The 50-year-old, who has vast experience of coaching at all levels, plus experience of managing at Championship level, will speak about his new appointment for the first time on Monday”.
Ironically, his final match in charge of Leeds came against his new employers, a 0-0 draw in West Yorkshire on the final day of the season in early May.
Redfearn replaced Darko Milanic at Elland Road 11 months ago and won a third of his 33 games in charge before Uwe Rosler was appointed in his place.
He returned to his role as academy coach at the end of the season amid a hard relationship with owner Massimo Cellino before leaving the club in July.
The former Barnsley, Bradford and Charlton midfielder will be unveiled on Monday.

Redfearn’s brief will be to keep the Millers in the Championship – they are now outside of the relegation zone on goal difference after the opening 10 games – while also developing youth players at the club.
