After Jesse Marsch's departure from Leeds United, the English club's Sporting Director Victor Orta is interested in two Spanish coaches to cover the vacancy. Raul Gonzalez and Andoni Iraola are the ones fancied to take over, according to 'The Athletic', and to take the side away from the relegation zone.

Leeds need to find someone to steer their ship quickly after the club got rid of American Jesse Marsch. The English club's Sporting Director Victor Orta is thought to be interested in two ex-players and current Spanish managers.

There are two reports which came out on Monday about who will be the next coach. 'AS' claimed that Raul Gonzalez had received an offer, but Real Madrid did not need to think twice about rejecting the possible departure of one of their club legends.

While 'The Athletic' reported that Andoni Iraola, the Rayo Vallecano boss, was going to receive a call in the next few hours from the Sporting Director to talk to him about the project at Leeds United.

Without yet knowing what the Vallecas boss will decide, it would be difficult for him to accept Orta's offer because he was always one to respect the contracts and, with his side in the European spots, it seems impossible that he would leave his side during this sweet patch.
