Leeds will not be appointing Alfred Schreuder as their new manager, the PA news agency understands. Former Ajax boss Schreuder emerged as favourite to replace Jesse Marsch after watching Leeds’ 2-0 defeat to Manchester United at Elland Road on Sunday.
But the 50-year-old Dutchman is no longer a candidate for the role and the Premier League club, who have met with several setbacks in their manager hunt, are now continuing their search.
Leeds met with several candidates over the weekend after missing out on previous top targets and will now consider a short-term replacement for Marsch.
The Whites had hoped to appoint Rayo Vallecano’s Andoni Iraola last week, but the Spanish club blocked the move and will offer a new contract to the 40-year-old, whose current deal expires at the end of the season.
