Leeds United are considering hiring a caretaker manager to the end of the season.

The Daily Mail says talks are ongoing with a number of candidates as the club assess whether an interim appointment until the end of the season is the best course of action.

Al-Ittihad's Nuno Espirito Santo is one that continues to be pushed while Steven Gerrard's availability, alongside former Leeds favourite Gary McAllister, has also been noted, though the former Villa boss is understood to have reservations.

Since parting company with Jesse Marsch a week ago, Leeds' search for a new manager has taken them via West Brom's Carlos Corberan, Vallecano's Andoni Iraola, Arne Slot of Feyenoord, ex-River Plate boss Marcelo Gallardo, Mauricio Pochettino and Schreuder.

The timing of their vacancy or length of contract on offer have been points of conflict for most while Marsch himself has since held talks over a return to the Premier League with Southampton.

Leeds want to make an appointment before Saturday's crunch Premier League game against fellow strugglers Everton but Under 21s coach Michael Skubala will continue to take team training in the meantime.
