Leeds interim boss Michael Skubala says work is well under way to find a replacement for Jesse Marsch.
Under 21s coach Skubala previewed Wednesday's Premier League game at Manchester United following Marsch's dismissal on Monday after less than a year in the role.
It is understood Leeds had a shortlist in place and interviews have already started at Elland Road for the club's 13th head coach in less than 10 years.
Rayo Vallecano head coach Andoni Iraola, 40, is among the candidates Leeds are keen to speak to, along with West Brom head coach Carlos Corberan, who worked under Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road.
