Alfred Schreuder

Former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder is at Elland Road on Sunday ahead of talks over the vacant managerial role at Leeds United, 90min understands.

Schreuder oversaw a fantastic 2021/22 campaign for Club Brugge in Belgium, winning the league title with the club. [Andoni Iraola](https://www.90min.com/posts/next-leeds-manager-andoni-iraola-rejects-elland-road-move), who has overseen Rayo Vallecano's remarkable rise up the La Liga table this season, was the next to be linked and subsequently snub Leeds, with 90min being told by sources that Iraola wanted to stay at Vallecano. That is clear, fans do not have to be afraid."

Leeds could be closing in on their next manager after a 'serious contender' was spotted at Elland Road for the Man Utd clash.

Schreuder's Ajax assistant, Matthias Kaltenbach, left the club at the same time and would likely follow him to Leeds if he's appointed. But Ajax's league position and their group-stage exit in the Champions League left Edwin van der Sar with the 'painful' decision to dismiss him. And he is present in west Yorkshire to watch his successor take on Leeds in the second grudge match in five days between the two rivals.

Journalist Mike McGrath claims that Alfred Schreuder is a 'serious contender' to become Leeds United boss and he's at Elland Road today.

Schreuder is coming off the back of a poor spell at Ajax and with a lack of experience in the Premier League, it would be a huge risk to appoint him. Of course, Leeds are yet to appoint a new boss and it seems they could be looking to Schreuder as a possible option to replace Marsch. [Mike McGrath](https://twitter.com/mcgrathmike/status/1624769795399852035?s=46&t=un2UBLnEpuyhS8KGPJS7Cw) claims former Ajax boss [Alfred Schreuder](https://tbrfootball.com/tag/alfred-schreuder/) is a ‘serious contender’ to replace [Jesse Marsch](https://tbrfootball.com/tag/jesse-marsch/) as [Leeds United](https://tbrfootball.com/category/english-premier-league/leeds-united/) boss and he’s at Elland Road today.

Leeds United have identified a new candidate to replace Jesse Marsch as manager, with a new target at Elland Road on Sunday, per the latest reports.

Prior to his time in charge of Ajax, Schreuder was briefly in charge of Club Brugge, where he worked with former Leeds targets, Noa Lang and Charles De Ketelaere. Options are running out for Leeds, so it seems he could be a contender to succeed Marsch. There were also strong accusations against Schreuder from Daley Blind when the former Man Utd defender left Ajax in January. Hence, they want to entrust someone else with the task of keeping them up. He has also held managerial roles with Twente and Hoffenheim in the past. Marsch lost his job as Leeds boss earlier this month after less than a year in charge.

Former Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder is a serious contender for the vacant Leeds United managerial position, according to the Telegraph's Mike McGrath.

Michael Skubala has done well in interim charge and it shows that this squad is more than capable of putting in performances which will keep them in the Premier League. This is a serious breakthrough in Leeds’ quest to land a new manager. Fans may be slightly disappointed with the news of Schreuder’s attendance, but ultimately, an appointment needs to be made soon.

Leeds supremo Victor Orta and his team will speak to former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder as soon as the full-time whistle goes today.

They’ve tried to get some big names already and Schreuder is another with a glowing reputation. He led them to the title, before taking the Ajax job and winning the Eredivisie twice. Having someone in place for the next week’s clash with Everton seems massive now. Orta and his team have scheduled talks with Schreuder, who has three titles to his name in Holland and Belgium. But after another encouraging performance v United today, the Dutchman will no doubt like what he’s seen. [90Min](https://www.90min.com/posts/alfred-schreuder-set-for-talks-with-leeds-over-vacant-manager-role), former Ajax manager Schreuder is at Elland Road and will speak to the Leeds hierarchy right at full-time today.

Alfred Schreuder appears to be a major contender for the Leeds United job having been spotted at today's game against Manchester United.

[Alfred Schreuder](/en-gb/topic/alfred-schreuder/) appears to be a major contender for the Leeds United job having been spotted at today’s game against Manchester United. Ajax then chose him as the successor to Ten Hag last summer, but Schreuder was sacked in late January having won 12 of his 26 games in charge of the Amsterdam giants. A move to Belgium materialised in January 2022 as he took charge of Club Brugge, winning 15 of his 21 games in charge to secure the league title.

Former Ajax boss Alfred Schreuder is now odds-on favourite to become the next head coach of Premier League side Leeds.

Kinnear added: “The search for a new head coach is well advanced. We are committed in our support of safer gambling. The club's chief executive Angus Kinnear says the search for a new manager “is well advanced” as it heads into a second week.

[sacked Jesse Marsch](https://talksport.com/football/1324732/leeds-sack-jesse-marsch-relegation-battle/) on Monday following a poor run of results that left them 17th in the Premier League.

The 50-year-old Dutchman is in line for a swift return to management after being sacked by the Dutch giants at the end of January.

Argentinian Marcelo Gallardo, highly admired by Orta, is currently taking a sabbatical but will be available at the end of the season. Schreuder was a guest of the club for the [Andoni Iraola](https://inews.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-arne-slot-marcelo-gallardo-andoni-iraola-2141225?ico=in-line_link), the Rayo Vallecano manager, and Feyenoord’s Arne Slot.

Google searches featuring Alfred Schreuder are likely through the roof right now after his recent sighting at Elland Road.

While recent failings at Ajax have blemished that feat, Leeds could be looking at the bigger picture and at what Schreuder has achieved - rather than his shortcomings. That would be a radical change to the 4-2-3-1 adopted by Leeds in recent years. As is often the case with Dutch coaches, Schreuder likes to play a three-man defence with wing-backs. Short passing, especially from the back, is also preferred, similar to how Ten Hag sets up Man United. Since his dismissal, Ajax have won four games in a row - scoring 13 goals - to propel themselves back into the title picture. Schreuder has enjoyed limited success as the main man but did win the Belgian league with Club Brugge. That success earned him the Ajax job which, ultimately, did not work out. A pessimist may suggest his affiliation with Ten Hag could be why he was watching Leeds today. Most of his career has been spent as a number two, working alongside Ronald Koeman for Barcelona and Erik ten Hag at Ajax. Schreuder’s career in football has spanned over 30 years, first emerging through the youth ranks at Dutch giants Feyenoord.

We are in a great position in the league, the cup and Europe. It was a compliment that a club like Leeds was interested, but we are doing something great with Feyenoord. That is clear, fans do not have to be afraid," he said. Iraola was a leading contender to fill the vacancy at Elland Road with the club having tracked him for a while. Leeds have also been talking to other candidates on their shortlist. The football itself was precarious too."

Leeds United are reportedly considering appointing former Ajax coach Alfred Schreuder as the new manager of the club after sacking Jesse Marsch.

AND WHAT'S MORE: Schreuder's first major coaching role was with FC Twente in 2014. THE BIGGER PICTURE: The Whites have been linked with several top coaches in the past few days. Schreuder was also shown around the club and given access to their training facilities as talks between the two parties advance, according to [BBC Sport](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/64618152).

Leeds are yet to appoint a permanent successor to Jesse Marsch.

"But in the same sense I think the players are calm, the staff are calm and everybody else was calm. Few trainers are given the opportunity to work in the Premier League. He said: "I think it's helpful for everybody. Leeds would be a wonderful club for Alfred." The Dutchman wants to stay at Feyenoord as they compete on three fronts this season. His compatriot Schreuder is now a strong contender to take over at Elland Road.

Former Ajax manager Alfred Schreuder has been heavily linked with the vacant Leeds United head coach position.

The fact that it has not worked at Ajax does not mean that he cannot perform at other clubs. We hoped for a good restart after the winter, but the results and the field game didn’t get any better. 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. Do you still think that the club has confidence in you? Michael Skubala led the team once again but it now seems that the club may well have found their permanent replacement for [Jesse Marsch.](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/all-about/jesse-marsch) “He has worked hard and he has done his best.
