Following their sacking of manager Jesse Marsch, according to recent reports, Leeds United have approached former Real Madrid star Raul over the possibility of the Spaniard taking the Elland Road hot seat.

That’s according to the Spanish media, which claim the Whites have identified Raul as a potential managerial target.

Although Raul is best known for his exploits in La Liga during his playing days, now a manager and in charge of Madrid’s B side Castilla, the retired star is doing an excellent job, and that is believed to have alerted Andrea Radrizzani to his potential availability.
