According to iNews, Leeds United are interested in appointing former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl, who has been compared to Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.
Leeds United linked with Ralph Hasenhuttl
The report has claimed that Hasenhuttl is among the candidates that Leeds are looking at to replace Jesse Marsch with.
Leeds sacked Marsch as their manager yesterday.
It came after a defeat to fellow relegation candidates Nottingham Forest in the Premier League at the weekend.
Leeds remain in serious danger of getting relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Sacked by Southampton
Hasenhuttl is without a managerial job at the moment following his dismissal from Southampton earlier in the campaign.
Like Leeds, Southampton are also in real danger of going down to the second tier of English football.
The 55-year-old Austrian manager was sacked by Southampton in November 2022.
The Saints were in the relegation zone at the time.
However, Hasenhuttl had done well at Southampton prior to this season, keeping the club in the Premier League.
Compared to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp
The former RB Leipzig has been compared to Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp in the past and earned the nickname the ‘Alpine Klopp’.
In December 2018, Andreas Heidenreich from the Kurier newspaper told The Guardian that Hasenhuttl “expects players to work very hard and is very demanding but is a very positive guy who brings a good atmosphere to his teams”.
