Former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has emerged as a strong contender to succeed Jesse Marsch as Leeds United’s next boss.
The 50-year old was sacked by Ajax last month and is available to take over immediately with Leeds keen to make an appointment before Saturday's crunch clash with Everton.
Leeds have had little joy in attempts to prise Andoni Iraola from Rayo Vallecano and were rejected by Feyenoord's Arne Slot. West Brom's Carlos Corberan was considered also but chose to sign a longer contract at the Hawthorns.
Schreuder, who was expected at today's game between Leeds and Manchester United at Elland Road, was installed as the bookmakers favourite late on Saturday evening after a flurry of bets.
