Leeds United have been turned down by Real Madrid icon Raul as they kick off their search for Jesse Marsch ’s long-term replacement.
The struggling Yorkshire outfit sacked the American on Monday following a horrendous run of form since the World Cup. A haul of just 11 points from the last 51 on offer in the Premier League saw Marsch jettisoned with the club now actively looking for his replacement.
According to Spanish outlet AS, iconic former Spain striker Raul was approached regarding the prospect of taking the reins at Elland Road. However, he is reported to have turned down the move as he wants to finish the season in charge of Real Madrid Castilla.
