Leeds caretaker boss Michael Skubala insists he is only focused on helping the club in relegation battle - and NOT on taking the job permanently - after failure to land a replacement for Jesse Marsch

Michael Skubala insists he is not auditioning for the permanent manager's job at Leeds despite being given an extended spell in caretaker charge.

The 40-year-old will lead the Whites at relegation rivals Everton on Saturday and against rock-bottom Southampton next weekend after the club's failure to land a replacement for Jesse Marsch.

Should Skubala start picking up results, he is likely to be kept in charge at Elland Road until the end of season.

But the former England futsal boss, who is stepping up from his job as Leeds Under-21s coach, says he is not thinking about pushing his own case for the vacant hotseat.
