Previously linked Arne Slot tells Alfred Schreuder why he should manage 'wonderful' Leeds United

Feyenoord manager Arne Slot has told Alfred Schreuder that Leeds United "would be a wonderful club" for him to manage amid reports that he is set to replace Jesse Marsch at Elland Road.

The former Ajax man was seen by LeedsLive walking through the John Charles Stand after the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. It appears that the club are now looking to accelerate their search for a new head coach ahead of a crunch match with Everton on the weekend.

Southampton's decision to part ways with Nathan Jones could also see the Saints rival Leeds for potential candidates. However, it seems that the St Mary's club have their eyes on Marsch, with the American potentially set for a Premier League return following his dismissal as Whites manager just over a week ago.

Slot had been hotly tipped to swap the Eredivisie for the English top-flight, but the Feyenoord boss has now ruled out a move to Elland Road midway through the season. Given his side's position at the top of the table, having only lost one match this term, the 44-year-old could not be convinced to abandon his ongoing project at this moment in time.

Schreuder had been rivals with Slot in the Eredivisie until his sacking last month, but the Feyenoord manager is convinced that the former Ajax man will be a success at Leeds should he make the move.

"Leeds are a wonderful club. Few trainers are given the opportunity to work in the Premier League," Slot told Dutch broadcaster NOS.

"You had [Erik] Ten Hag, [Ronald] Koeman and [Louis] Van Gaal. Quite a nice list to get into. And then I forget Frank de Boer’s few matches at Crystal Palace. Leeds would be a wonderful club for Alfred."
