Leeds United’s head coach search took a step forward at Elland Road on Sunday with the sighting of out-of-work Alfred Schreuder. The Dutchman last worked at Eredivisie giants Ajax, where he was sacked only last month after a winless run of seven matches left them fifth in the table.
Schreuder, 50, was spotted by LeedsLive walking through Elland Road’s John Charles Stand in the aftermath of Sunday’s loss to Manchester United. Schreuder was seen with head of European recruitment Gaby Ruiz and another member of Victor Orta’s recruitment team.
It is understood talks with Schreuder are in their infancy and it remains to be seen whether he will be appointed as Jesse Marsch’s replacement. The Daily Telegraph had earlier reported Schreuder was under consideration for the position on Sunday.
