Celtic can breathe a sigh of relief after Andoni Iraola told Rayo Vallecano he wants to leave them in order to take charge of Leeds United.He's the Elland Road club's first choice to replace jesse Marsch, who was sacked on Monday after less than a year in charge of the Yorkshire club, who want to try and avoid a second successive relegation battle, which the American successfully negotiated last term.
Hoops boss Ange Postecoglou had been linked with the vacancy, although Record Sport reported that Parkhead chiefs were confident the Aussie would reject any advances from Leeds given his happiness at Celtic.Leeds director of football Victor Orta flew to Madrid on Tuesday to hold talks with Iraola, who is desperate to work in the Premier League.
