Neil Redfearn "capable" of Leeds job

Caretaker manager Neil Redfearn has said that he has the relevance experience to take charge of Leeds United on a permanent basis.

The 46-year-old guided Leeds to a 3-0 win at Bristol City on Saturday following the sacking of Simon Grayson earlier in the week.

However, Redfearn is under no illusions that a higher profile coach could be offered the job.

"I feel I am capable of doing the manager's job and have the necessary experience in the game, but the decision will be made from above and I am not stupid," he said. "I realise some big names are being linked with the vacancy.

"I will just keep doing the job the board have asked of me and if I am teeing things up for someone else to take charge then so be it.

"For now I am just delighted to have helped the players get a great result and rebuild some confidence."

Leeds are ninth in the Championship table after their win at Ashton Gate.
