da betway： After weeks of uncertainty, the vacant Leeds manager post has been filled by Darko Milanic. The Slovenian gaffer is the first non-British or Irishman to take charge of the Whites, and will be tasked with building a side to make an outside push for the play-off spots by Massimo Cellino.
da pinup bet： Despite some big names being shipped out over the summer, Leeds managed to get a few players through the doors at Elland Road, and it’s very likely that Milanic will want to continue the business over the coming months and into January.
Here are SIX players who could follow the new chief to Leeds…

Anel Hadzic

A player being tipped to follow Milanic from Sturm Graz to Leeds is Anel Hadzic. The Bosnian midfielder is known to have a good relationship with his ex-manager, which could smooth the road for a switch to English football. The 25-year-old was linked with Middlesbrough before the World Cup, but Leeds may now have the upper hand. Industrious and hard working, Hadzic could be a wise purchase.
Chris Eagles
After being released by Bolton over the summer, Eagles is available on a free transfer at any time. Despite never quite living up to the billing he received as a youngster at Manchester United, the wide-man is a proven player in the English game and could add some flair to Leeds’ attack if he can prove his fitness. Milanic may be tempted if he’s scouring the British transfer market.
Diego Lugano
Experienced and proven at the top level, Lugano is one of the very best freebies on the market. Leeds may have options at the back, but few are of the level of the former Copa America winner, who represented Uruguay at this summer’s World Cup. Lugano may no longer have the pace he once had, but he’s certainly got the know-how.
Jack Collison
His career has been ravaged by injury, but the ex-West Ham man could be an option. Collison was released by the Hammers over the summer after a period at Wigan, where he once again failed to play regularly. A pay as you play deal may be a wise option, with the Welshman still only 25.

Zan Benedicic

Although already at the club, Benedicic could be set for an increased role under Milanic. The young defender, on loan from AC Milan – has only a few minutes of first-team action under his belt at Elland Road, but, due to his Slovenian roots, there’s talk that his compatriot will gamble on handing him more opportunities. Benedicic is highly-rated in Slovenia – whom has has represented at youth level – and could prove to be a success at Leeds in the long-term, due to a view to a permanent deal next summer.
Bostjan Cesar
This one may be a long shot, but with Milanic’s contacts and influence in his homeland, Slovenian captain Cesar might be a remote option. The big defender spent some time earlier in his career at West Brom, but is best known for his successes in Italy with Chievo. At 32 he has experience and could be tempted by a move to the Championship.
