Former Leeds manager Neil Warnock wants Mark Hughes to replace him at Elland Road so he can "destroy another team of mine". Hughes, 49, has been linked with the managerial vacancy at Leeds following Warnock's departure on Monday.
Warnock told talkSPORT: "I personally hope Mark Hughes follows me again and
destroys another team of mine.
"I don't think it's a club for a young manager. There is so much going on
behind the scenes it is ridiculous really. It needs somebody who has seen it all
and done it all."
"I laugh when I see some of these names. A) We can't afford the compensation
and B) do you think Mark Hughes would want Leeds United at the moment? It's a

With relegation fears now more relevant than Premier League hopes, the club announced his departure in a statement shortly after the game.
Leeds United manager Neil Warnock admits his Championship team will be up against it in Sunday's FA Cup 5th round tie at Premier League Champions Manchester City. Today Warnock also reflected on the latest takeover speculation, and the fans' reaction to the team's disappointing league form.
Leeds United manager Neil Warnock says he's delighted with his three transfer deadline day signings - strikers Steve Morison and Mouhamadou Habib Habibou, and full back Stephen Warnock.
Morison came as part of a swap deal which involved Luciano Becchio moving to Norwich, former England full back Warnock has signed from Aston Villa, and Central African Republic international striker Habibou has been secured on loan for the rest of the season from Belgian side SV Zulte Waragem.
Leeds United manager Neil Warnock has until 4pm today to respond to an FA charge of improper conduct against him. Warnock, 63, was charged by the FA for his comments about referee Mark Halsey following his side's 1-0 defeat at Millwall on Sunday.
Warnock hit out at Halsey in his post-match comments after the official dismissed Luke Varney at The Den. Varney was sent off just three minutes into the second half for an apparent elbow on Adam Smith.
Warnock said: "The amount of effort that's gone into the game and we're talking about a refereeing decision - it's scandalous. When you watch the sending-off again, we don't have thousands of Millwall fans screaming at us.
"It's not caught him where he's holding when he's gone down. Referees aren't as consistent - they've gone backwards, I think. I didn't think someone of Mark Halsey's quality and experience would have gone straight for his red card, and I think he'll be disappointed when he sees it."

Neil Warnock has set his sights on winning the Capital One Cup after his Leeds team took the scalp of another Premier League team in the shape of Southampton. Warnock has often made light of his daughter Amy's request for him to win the competition this season, but after last night's 3-0 success,
getting to Wembley does not seem as fanciful as it once did.
Leeds are one of three non-Premier League teams left in the competition and a chance of at least a last-four berth is now a possibility, especially if they get a home draw. They have now seen off Everton and Southampton at Elland Road.
Warnock, who was a regular visitor to the old Wembley but has never manned the touchlines of the new one, is starting to sharpen his focus. "I want to win it," he said after goals from Michael Tonge and El-Hadji Diouf and a Luciano Becchio penalty saw off Southampton .
