OPINION

Leeds United have appointed Paul Heckingbottom as their new manager on Tuesday and his arrival will give plenty of first teamers the chance for a fresh start.

The appointment of a new boss usually seems to get a reaction out of a squad as places suddenly become up for grabs.

Heckingbottom has now arrived at Elland Road on an 18-month deal and is taking charge of training on Tuesday.

The 40-year-old has left his position at Yorkshire rivals Barnsley to join the Whites and his appointment was made just two days after Thomas Christiansen’s dismissal.

Leeds are still in the hunt for the play-off spots, but need to start picking up points quickly if they are to make up the seven-point deficit.

They showed earlier in the season they can be a real force in the Championship and Heckingbottom will hope for a reaction in the first game of his reign away to Sheffield United at the weekend.

This Is Futbol has picked out three Leeds first teamer that could benefit under new management, which includes a 23-year-old that has lost his way.
