Leeds United next manager odds as Arne Slot edges Andoni Iraola after Rayo Vallecano 'block' move

Leeds United's search to replace Jesse Marsch continues as the club look to have a new manager in place by the weekend ahead of Manchester United's return visit to Elland Road in the Premier League.

Marsch was sacked as Leeds head coach following a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest that saw the club maintain a run of poor form in the Premier League. Without a top-flight win since November, the board decided it was time for action and have since begun the search for a new manager.

A handful of names have been linked with the vacant position at Leeds and multiple twists and turns have already taken place in such a short space of time.

A recent report from the Athletic claimed that Leeds have hit a brick wall regarding their pursuit of Andoni Iraola. It is understood that negotiations to hire the Rayo Vallecano manager have 'failed to make progress' despite Victor Orta flying to Spain to advance talks.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports and talkSPORT have both reported that Vallecano have 'blocked' Iraola's potential move to Elland Road, despite the Spaniard's openness to the idea. That now means that Feyenoord manager Arne Slot looks set to be in the box seat for the top job, with the Independent claiming that Leeds have made a 'proposal' for the Dutch coach to take charge at the club.

Carlos Corberan was the original favourite for a return to his former side until West Bromwich Albion confirmed that he had signed a contract extension to keep him at The Hawthorns until 2027.

With that in mind, LeedsLive have looked at the latest betting odds for those tipped to potentially replace Marsch at Elland Road.
