Leeds United appear to be closing in on naming a replacement for Jesse Marsch – ending any speculation surrounding Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou.

Former Leeds head coach Marsch, however, is reported to be the strong favourite to replace Jones. The former Socceroos boss will naturally be linked with vacant positions in the Premier League due to the job he has done with [Celtic](/topic/celtic).

The 50-year-old, who was sacked by Ajax last month, was in attendance at Elland Road on Sunday to watch the club's 2-0 Premier League defeat to Manchester ...

Marsch spent just under a year in charge, but he left with the club perched precariously on the edge of the relegation zone. Schreuder’s appearance at the game prompted a negative response from supporters on social media, with many pointing to his miserable record in Amsterdam, prior to his dismissal. Unfortunately, they couldn’t build on it on Sunday, but Leeds picked up plenty of plaudits for the way they handled Erik ten Hag’s side prior to Marcus Rashford’s 80th minute opener. His time in Leeds was brief, though, it seems, with the reports claiming [Jesse Marsch](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/jesse-marsch) of his duties following the club’s miserable showing at Nottingham Forest a day previous. [Leeds](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/) have decided against offering him the job.

Indeed, his style of football compared to that of Marcelo Bielsa who remains adored in west Yorkshire is chalk and cheese. The defeat likely ended any faint hope Skubala had of securing the job outright. The Whites called time on Marsch’s tenure last Monday. [via the Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/21363671/sam-allardyce-leeds-job-relegation-battle/)), Allardyce urged Leeds to call him, though acknowledged the phone hasn’t yet rung.

[ “serious candidate”](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/manager-latest-serious-contender-attends-man-utd-match-two-weeks-sack-last-job) to take the reins.

Leeds United are reportedly considering appointing former Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder as the new manager of the club after sacking Jesse Marsch.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Schreuder's first major coaching role was with FC Twente in 2014. THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Whites have been linked with several top coaches in the past few days. Schreuder was also shown around the club and given access to their training facilities as talks between the two parties advance, according to [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64618152).

A week after sacking Jesse Marsch Leeds United find themselves in peril of straying from the common ground they discovered with supporters.

As Skubala said, an appointment would be helpful for everyone because with two enormous games and a dog fight on the road ahead, the direction of travel needs to be made clear. What grace period would he realistically be granted and how toxic could things get should he take the reins and steer the Whites to anything but victories over Everton and Southampton? Iraola could not be extracted from his LaLiga club, not in a manner the coach would be comfortable with, and Slot turned down the Whites in a most public display of loyalty to Feyenoord. If anything, Alfred Schreuder's LS11 sighting - confirmed after full-time when he was led to the West Stand by Victor Orta's number two Gaby Ruiz - has driven a greater wedge between the powers that be and a support whose power, when harnessed, can be transformational for the club. But a week is a long time in football and at Elland Road the past seven days has felt like an eternity because for all the talk of highly-rated top-level European coaches and Radrizzani's white smoke tweets, what has materialised is a grand amount of nothing. For the first time in a long time, Marsch's exit brought those around the boardroom table and those in the stands into alignment.

Newcastle United U21s are searching for their first Premier League 2 win since October and Ben Dawson hopes recent positive performances lead to a result ...

It will be competitive and intense, hopefully we can have a little bit more quality to nick ourselves in front and get a positive result along with the performance." The U21s boss told ChronicleLive: "I would like to think it'll be competitive. Dawson is expecting a tough test at Whitley Park against the promotion contenders, but hopes his side can take one further step to deliver a result to match recent positive performances. Newcastle took the lead but ultimately suffered a 2-1 derby defeat in their last outing against Sunderland at the Academy of Light.

Premier League club Leeds United will not be appointing Alfred Schreuder as their new manager, the PA news agency understands.

Rayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola has been heavily linked with a move to Leeds United to replace Jesse Marsch.

We will have it difficult because many teams will come into play in the summer. [Jesse Marsch](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/jesse-marsch) following the American's departure last week, but Vallecano's attempts to seemingly block their head coach from leaving midway through the season have poured cold water over recent speculation.

The club need to get results in these six-pointers, as they will be crucial to their season. There is also a planned takeover by their shareholders, 49ers Enterprises, in the summer. The club needs a new manager in place soon to ensure they do not get relegated. He has a point to prove, with many doubting him at Aston Villa and this is often when it makes him more dangerous. There was also a last-minute goal against West Ham United in the FA Cup final at Cardiff’s Millennium Stadium. However, Leeds could soon have a new manager in the form of Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard.

Man United manager Erik ten Hag worked alongside Alfred Schreuder during his Ajax reign.

However, the Yorkshire side are now seemingly poised to look elsewhere. However, that scouting mission has proven to be in vain for the 50-year-old Dutchman. Goals from Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho did the damage in that match. But that return did not go according to plan. Schreuder was sacked by the Eredivisie outfit in January and was tipped to touch down in the Premier League for his next adventure.

The Rayo Vallecano manager is unwilling to leave before the summer while Leeds also have to wait for former River Plate head coach Marcelo Gallardo.

Foremost on that list is Iraola, but Leeds are close to accepting he cannot be prised away until June at the earliest. A week after the American’s sacking, though, Leeds have not made the progress they had hoped. Last week they were rejected by Feyenoord’s Arne Slot and another contender, Carlos Corberán, signed a new contract at West Brom.

Marcelo Gallardo isn't interested in becoming Southampton manager as they face a similar disappointment to Leeds United.

[That’s according to 90Min](https://www.90min.com/posts/next-southampton-manager-frank-lampard-steven-gerrard-wayne-rooney-interested), who claim that Gallardo has ‘little interest’ in taking over at St Mary’s Stadium.

I do think there's a chance they can get out of trouble." They're able to do that to teams Leeds, but they can't sort of snap out of that in front of goal and find that element of quality.

Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson gave a wary response when asked about Leeds United's chances of survival in the Premier League this season.

“For one, whatever we say becomes an article in a newspaper and two you're talking about a fellow club that you're competing against so it can be deemed as disrespectful sometimes. "It's a tricky one and it's a difficult one for us to speak about other teams and if they're going to get relegated, this and that,” Wilson added. The Whites recently sacked Jesse Marsch after just under a year in charge.
