Lee was sacked by Walsall in April

Leeds manager Kevin Blackwell has given ex-Walsall boss Colin Lee the chance to return to football as his number two at Elland Road, according to The Times.
Lee, who was sacked by the Saddlers last season after he had talks about taking over at Plymouth, is expected to accept Leeds' offer this week.
Blackwell thinks Lee's Division One know-how will be vital next season.
"What I want to make sure is that the people I am going to appoint are here for the long term for Leeds," he said.
"There will be big changes. I want a new culture at this football club.
"We can draw a line in the sand now and anybody who comes into the club knows exactly what is expected of them."
Lee took over at Walsall in 2002 and also had spells in charge at Watford, Wolves and Torquay.
