Rayo Vallecano coach Iraola calm amid Leeds interest

Spanish coach Andoni Iraola is emerging as the favorite to take the Leeds United job.

The Rayo Vallecano coach is in demand as a result of his team's excellent La Liga displays this term.

Per The Mirror, the 40-year-old is the man most people believe will get the Leeds job.

“Football belongs to the footballers, we are not that important. The players make us look better and I am lucky to have players who are showing their level," Iraola said about his future to reporters on Monday.

“If I didn't have them, I wouldn't be achieving anything. I am clear about my role, they are the ones who are achieving this."

West Brom manager Carlos Corberan, who worked with Leeds' under-23s in the past, is out of the running for the job.
