Leeds United managerial target Andoni Iraola has two offers from England on the table but may spend a year out of the game instead once he leaves Rayo Vallecano.
That’s according to Marca, who cover Iraola’s future today after he decided to turn down a new deal at Rayo and leave this summer.
They explain that he had been offered a one-year extension to his current deal plus an economic improvement, as well as a commitment from the club to try and push themselves further via investment in the squad.
Iraola, though, rejected the proposal, believing that it would be difficult to take this side any further than he already has. He would prefer to find a new club with ‘more ambitious goals’.
Iraola, though, hasn’t ruled out the prospect of taking a year off and waiting for the market to open up and offer him a project ‘that will convince him’.
He’s more than happy to wait for the right offers, having already turned down Leeds earlier this year despite being open to a move to Elland Road.
They made it clear they were willing to pay his release clause to get him from Rayo Vallecano, but it was the Spanish coach who ended the talks, believing it wrong to leave Rayo ‘through the back door’.
Now he is walking out the front instead, although whether that is straight into another job or onto a beach is something he is yet to decide on.
