A summer that saw the departure of manager Brian McDermott in favour of the unheralded David Hockaday (whose only prior managerial experience was with Conference side Forest Green Rovers), as well as a host of players including club captain and top scorer Ross McCormack and dependable striker Matt Smith shipping out of Elland Road, saw Leeds listed as second-favourites for relegation (ahead of only a Blackpool side who were somehow in even more turmoil both on the pitch and off it) among most bookmakers. Their start to the season did little to dispel these predictions, with Hockaday sacked the day after a humiliating League Cup exit to West Yorkshire rivals Bradford City, on top of losing three of his first four league matches in charge. Sporting journalists were quick to note that his six competitive matches in charge were two fewer than Brian Clough had managed during his infamous 44-day spell as manager. Academy manager Neil Redfearn took over as caretaker manager and earned 10 points from the next four games, putting Leeds in mid-table, but was overlooked for the permanent manager's job in favour of another unexpected candidate, Slovenian manager Darko Milanič. Milanič failed to win any of his six games in charge, however, and was himself sacked 32 days later, exceeding both Clough's and Jock Stein's joint-record as the club's shortest-serving manager. With Leeds right back in relegation trouble, they turned once again to Redfearn, and while they remained dangerously close to the foot of the table until well into the New Year, a strong run of form between late January and the end of March propelled them out of danger (as with the previous season, they were also helped by the poor form of all the bottom three clubs). However, the sudden suspension of Redfearn's assistant, Steve Thompson coincided with a poor end to the season and contributed to Redfearn's falling out with Cellino. After the season ended, Cellino first attempted to demote Redfearn back to his prior role as academy manager, then sacked him altogether, leaving Leeds looking for their sixth manager since the departure of Simon Grayson three years prior. Background and club ownership On 12 April 2013, Brian McDermott was appointed as Leeds United manager on a three-year contract.2013-04-12 Brian McDermott: Leeds United appoint ex-Reading boss https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/22107062 2025-09-18 BBC Sport en-GB In the summer of 2013 McDermott updated the squad with £1 million midfielder Luke Murphy from Crewe Alexandra,Luke Murphy signs from Crewe Alexandra https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23127898 1 February 2014 BBC Sport and defender Scott Wootton from Manchester United.22 August 2013 Brian McDermott delighted to complete his fourth signing… http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/16mq2x2h3ife71l5xoyaij9qe9/title/brians-delight-at-scott-arrival https://web.archive.org/web/20130824231601/http://www.leedsunited.com/news/article/16mq2x2h3ife71l5xoyaij9qe9/title/brians-delight-at-scott-arrival dead 24 August 2013 1 February 2014 Leeds United Official website He further added to this by completing several free transfers including forwards Noel Hunt and Matt Smith in July,Noel Hunt: Leeds United sign former Reading striker https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/23159143 1 February 2014 BBC Sport and Lithuanian international defender Marius Žaliūkas in late October.Marius Zaliukas: Leeds United confirm signing of defender https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/24685474 1 February 2014 BBC Sport However, McDermott stuck with largely the same squad from the previous season.
