David Geddis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David Geddis, (born March 12, 1958 in Carlisle, Cumbria, England), is a football coach and scout, a former professional football player and England youth international. He is currently a reserve team coach for Leeds United, a job he took up after scouting for England manager Sven-Göran Eriksson and the English FA at the 2006 World Cup in Germany. Recently, he coached an English celebrity team, alongside former manager Terry Venables, for the Soccer Aid charity football match.

On 23rd October 2006, it was revealed that Geddis would take John Carver's place as Leeds caretaker manager until the 25th October. Geddis' only match in charge of the first team was the 3-1 League Cup defeat to Southend United, yet he was still not in complete control as Dennis Wise had input on team selection, having agreed terms with Leeds earlier in the day. On the 25th October, Wise and his assistant Gustavo Poyet officially joined the club as the new management team.
