Leeds United managerial target and current Rayo Vallecano head coach Andoni Iraola will leave the club at the end of the season, the 40-year-old confirmed in a press conference on Saturday.

Iraola is the subject of reported interest from LaLiga rivals Sevilla and Villarreal following Leeds’ approach to Rayo earlier this season, in the wake of Jesse Marsch’s sacking.

The former Athletic Bilbao man was understood to be one of Leeds’ primary targets to replace Marsch in February, then-director of football Victor Orta engaging in talks with the Vallecas hierarchy. Ultimately, Leeds were unable to persuade Iraola to depart and an agreement could not be reached between the clubs.
