Leeds coach Monk resigns

LONDON, May 25, (RTRS): Leeds United manager Garry Monk has resigned only days after Andrea Radrizzani’s takeover of the Championship soccer club, eschewing the Italian businessman’s offer of an extended contract to keep him at Elland Road.

Radrizzani told reporters on Wednesday that the club was willing to exercise the option to extend Monk’s contract by 12 months and immediately begin negotiations for a new long-term deal.
