McDermott and Poyet up for Leeds job
Poyet is currently in charge of promotion-chasing Brighton, while McDermott is out of work after leaving Reading last month.
The latter openly spoke about the Yorkshire club during a TV interview at the weekend and, while Poyet has not commented, it is believed the Uruguayan would consider a return to Elland Road if an approach was made. The 45-year-old was a popular assistant to Dennis Wise between in 2006 and 2007 and has spoken of his love for the club, saying in February last year: “I would love in the future to manage Leeds. I would really like to come back. Probably the timing is not right.”
He remains committed to Brighton at present, though, and last month turned down Reading’s advances.
