Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink linked to Leeds United manager position

The agent of former Leeds United and Chelsea star Jimmy Floyd-Hasselbaink has fuelled speculation that the 43-year old will take over as manager at Elland Road in the summer.

Speaking to the Yorkshire Evening Post, Hasselbaink's agent Humphrey Nijman said: "They [Leeds] have showed interest, but there is nothing decided yet. That is all I can say about it."

Hasselbaink, who is currently manager at League Two side Burton Albion, scored 42 goals for Leeds in 87 appearances at the club between 1997 and 1999.

Current Leeds manager Neil Redfearn's future at the club remains in serious doubt after yet another topsy-turvy year at the Championship club.

Despite guiding Leeds safely to 15th in the table, and retaining the support of players, staff and the majority of Whites supporters, the Leeds hierarchy have refused to guarantee Redfearn's future past Saturday's final game of the season against Rotherham United.
