Meanwhile, Rayo Vallecano manager Andoni Iraola is also being linked to the Leeds United managerial position.
However, in a recent press conference after a 2-0 victory against Almeria, Iraola brushed off the speculation and focused on giving credit to his players instead.
"Football belongs to the footballers, we as managers are not that important. The players make us look better and I am lucky to have players who are showing their level," Iraola stated.
The Spanish manager refused to be drawn into any speculation, instead opting to give all the credit to his team's success.
With Raul Gonzalez potentially being a future Real Madrid manager and Andoni Iraola's contract at Rayo Vallecano expiring in the summer, both Spanish managers remain committed to their respective clubs and are determined to lead their teams to success.
