Leeds United want to appoint a new manager in time for Sunday's match with Manchester United – with Rayo Vallecano boss Andoni Iraola and West Brom's Carlos Corberan the frontrunners.
Club sources have indicated the Whites have narrowed their search down to a shortlist of four and started interviewing on Monday night. However, all of their top candidates are currently in jobs, which could delay their quest to have a new man in place by the weekend.
Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani is understood to be flying into England from his home in Italy to head up the process.
