Quique Flores is reportedly owner Massimo Cellino's number one choice to fill the managerial void at Leeds United.

Recent speculation claimed that John Sheridan was in pole position to replace Steve Evans, who is expected to be relieved of his duties at Elland Road in the near future.

However, the Daily Star claims that Watford boss Flores is the preferred option for Cellino.

Despite having guided Watford to Premier League safety and the FA Cup semi-finals this season, there have been suggestions that the Hornets will look to dispense of the Spaniard's services this summer.
