# Leeds: Ange Postecoglou move still possible

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) still have Celtic boss Ange Postecoglou on their managerial radar, according to [The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ange-postecoglou-leeds-united-resurrected-29172004).**

### The Lowdown: Four rejections

The Whites haven’t had it all their own way when it comes to finding a new manager, with Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers seemingly being turned down by four managers.

[Raul](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-make-raul-offer-manager-latest/) and [Carlos Corberan](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-carlos-corberan-rejects-offer/) both rejected a move to Elland Road, whereas Rayo Vallecano boss [Andoni Iraola](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-andoni-iraola-elland-road-manager-update/) and Argentine [Marcelo Gallardo](https://twitter.com/jorgebaravalle/status/1623497293025476609) have also either turned down advances from those in Yorkshire or had their own clubs step in to half proceedings.

Feyenoord’s Arne Slot appears to be the [new favourite](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ange-postecoglou-leeds-united-resurrected-29172004) for the vacancy, with a [proposal](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/leeds-whites-arne-slot-approach-news/) made, although Postecoglou still appears to be of interest.

### The Latest: Postecoglou update

[The Daily Record](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ange-postecoglou-leeds-united-resurrected-29172004) shared a story on Thursday, looking at Leeds’ search for a new manager after the bad news on Iraola. They claimed that Postecoglou’s name is still in the mix at Elland Road after the Whites were first [linked](https://twitter.com/marcoconterio/status/1622614635345072128?s=46&t=SEa5CgeA2W8oArJ4VUnDHA) with a move shortly after Jesse Marsch’s dismissal.

However, a move looks to be an ambitious one, with Celtic confident their manager has no desire to leave Scotland at this moment in time.

### The Verdict: Could be huge

Postecoglou has transformed Celtic over the last 18 months, winning a league and cup [double](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ange-postecoglou/erfolge/trainer/11929) during his first season in charge. He has guided the Hoops to [23](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) victories from a possible [25](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) Scottish Premiership games (92%), averaging [2.46](https://www.transfermarkt.com/ange-postecoglou/stationen/trainer/11929/plus/1) goals per game in Scotland.

He likes to play an [attacking 4-3-3 system](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) and averages just over [three](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ange-postecoglou/profil/trainer/11929) years in charge of a club during his career, so the Celtic man could be the ideal long-term alternative to Slot, although either manager could be tricky to complete due to ongoing successes at their respective clubs.
