The Elland Road faithful were left in shock on Thursday after manager Garry Monk handed in his resignation to the club.

After a number of seasons of mid-table mediocrity, Monk had almost guided Leeds to play-off football, only to fall short at the end of the campaign. However, the 38-year-old was immensely popular with the supporters, who were looking forward to another season of progression with him at the helm.

Unfortunately, for reasons not yet known, the former Swansea boss saw his future away from the Yorkshire club, who are now faced with yet another managerial appointment debacle over the coming days.

The one of the early favourites for the job appears to be former Middlesbrough coach Aitor Karanka, who will likely be keen to get back into management after leaving the Riverside Stadium earlier in 2017.

Leeds fans took to social media to express their opinions on the possibility of Karanka leading the club next season.
