Leeds United are preparing to sack head coach Thomas Christiansen should they struggle to pick up results in their next two matches according to a report from the Sunday Mirror via Football Insider.

At the start of the season, Leeds seemed to pick up where they dropped of as they had a great start to the season, even though Christiansen came in as a replacement for Garry Monk during the summer. However over the last few weeks their form has dropped off and they have fallen to 10th in the Sky Bet Championship, three points off 6th placed Aston Villa.

This has led to owner Andrea Radrizzani becoming frustrated and it is likely that he will wield the axe if the next two games don’t go well. Leeds’ next two games are against Middlesbrough and Wolves, two tough matches against teams that are expecting to get promoted this season. And should the West Yorkshire side fail to pick up respectable results in those games, it appears that Christiansen will be the latest manager to be given his P45 after a short time at Elland Road.

While many fans have become frustrated with results recently, there will probably be some annoyance that the club are to sack yet another manager. Under previous owner Massimo Cellino, the club became infamous for the short reigns of managers and it was hoped that things would change under their new owner. But should Radrizzani decide to sack Christiansen in the next few weeks, it will continue the trend of short reigns started by Cellino.
