Vinnie Jones has suggested that he would like the now vacant Leeds United managerial job.

Jones spent just one season at Leeds, back in the 1980’s, during his playing career, but he still remains a popular figure at Elland Road.

Jones impressed through his passion and desire, and he still regularly comments on the goings on at Leeds on social media.

And the former Wimbledon and QPR midfielder has suggested that he would like to take over from Garry Monk.

Monk’s resignation rocked Leeds yesterday, as it came out of the blue.

The 38-year-old was widely expected to pen a new contract at Elland Road, but ultimately he decided that his future lied elsewhere.

Aitor Karanka is now currently the heavy favourite to take over at Leeds, with Monk thought to be most likely to move to Middlesbrough.
