Leeds United interim boss Michael Skubala has offered an insight into the club's managerial search to find a replacement for Jesse Marsch.

The American was relieved of his duties yesterday due to a horror run of form in the English Premier League.

Celtic manager Ange Postecoglou was installed as an early favourite for the position and since then Sky Sports have reported that The Whites are monitoring the Aussie.

Skubala will take charge as Leeds take on Manchester United on Wednesday and he ruled himself out of taking the role on permanently.

Skubala explained: "This is temporary, I'll go back to my old role when this is done. I'm just getting through this first game.

"Whatever happens between tomorrow and Sunday remains to be seen.

"I've seen change quite a lot so it's important to be calm. It's been busy, but it's a good challenge.

"The owners are working really hard behind the scenes to find the solution."

It is understood Leeds had a shortlist in place and interviews have already started at Elland Road for the club’s 13th head coach in less than 10 years.

Marsch was sacked after Sunday’s 1-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest left Leeds in 17th place, outside the bottom three on goal difference.

We reported earlier today what Ange Postecoglou has previously said when he was linked with jobs south of the border.

“It’s fair to say that speculation around my future has been with me since day one, you know, for different reasons!” he explained in September when quizzed on links with Liverpool. “For me, I don’t worry about that stuff. It doesn’t really enter my brain space.

“I take on every job I have and every challenge to try and make the football club as successful as it can be and that’s always been my total focus. If I start thinking about the speculation that’s there now and me potentially moving on to I don’t know where then I would have been worried at the start when people were saying that I wouldn’t last too long.

“I keep saying to the players, just live in the moment. The present is the most important time because the past, you can’t change and the future, you can’t control.”
