Former Aston Villa and Rangers coach Steven Gerrard is keen to occupy the vacant managerial seat at Leeds United.
The Elland Road side are still without a full-time manager after sacking Jesse Marsch last week. The American coach was relieved of his duties after a poor run of results that saw Leeds drop to 17th on the table, one point above the relegation zone.
The club have sought to replace him but have faced rejection from multiple coaches. According to reports, their first-choice replacement, Carlos Corberan, signed a new 18-month deal with West Brom on Monday. Rayo Vallecano’s Andoni Iraola also refused to leave his current side despite Leeds sending a delegation to convince him.

The former England international has been out of management since November after being sacked by Aston Villa following six defeats in 11 league games. However, according to Football Insider, he is keen on taking over at Leeds despite the enormity of the task.
