Leeds United told Alfred Schreuder 'has the qualities' as Edwin van der Sar explains Ajax sacking

Ajax chief executive Edwin van der Sar has claimed that Alfred Schreuder "has the qualities" to succeed as a manager despite being sacked as Ajax boss amid his links to become the new Leeds United head coach.

Schreuder was spotted by LeedsLive at Elland Road after the 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Sunday. Michael Skubala led the team once again but it now seems that the club may well have found their permanent replacement for Jesse Marsch.

Some scepticism was met when Schreuder's name was first mentioned due to the fact that he was sacked as Ajax manager just over two weeks ago following a six-month spell in charge of the Dutch club. However, Van der Sar has claimed that the 50-year-old has what it takes to succeed at other clubs, despite his struggles in Amsterdam.
