According to Pete O’Rourke, former Leeds United coach Karl Robinson turned down the opportunity to speak with Bradford City.
Bradford City is seeking a new manager to take over from Mark Hughes. Kevin McDonald is currently serving as the interim manager of the League Two team.
Following Leeds’ relegation to the Championship at the end of the previous campaign, Robinson, 43, severed his links with the club. Under Sam Allardyce, he played in the final four games of the previous season as their number two.
Reporter O’Rourke on channel X claims that he “turned down” the chance to talk with the Bantams. He keeps looking for a new position.
Bradford City turned down
Bradford could have seen Robinson as someone who could have guided them out of the fourth tier. However, they will have to look elsewhere for their next managerial appointment.
The Bantams have been doing well under caretaker boss McDonald, who was actually signed as a player over the summer. The Scotsman has won three out of his four games in charge so far and drew 1-1 with Wrexham at home over the weekend.
Robinson has a big decision to make on what he wants to do next and has been weighing up his options over the past few months as he carefully waits for the right job. He turned down the Fleetwood Town job in League One earlier this term, as reported by Football Insider.
The Merseyside-born man started his managerial career at MK Dons after a coaching stint at Blackburn Rovers and spent six years with the Buckinghamshire outfit from 2010 to 2016.
He then had spells in the third tier at Charlton Athletic and Oxford United respectively before Leeds came calling in early May to invite him to work with Allardyce.
