Eddie Gray has declared his interest in being the next Leeds manager.
Gray, a veteran of 559 appearances during his spell at the club from 1965 to 1983, took over as caretaker manager yesterday following the departure of Peter Reid.
The West Yorkshire side are bottom of the Premiership, following four successive top-flight defeats - the most recent of which was the 6-1 drubbing at Portsmouth on Saturday.
But Gray - who had a spell as player-manager for three seasons from 1982 when Leeds were in the old Second Division told the BBC: "Anyone in football, especially someone who's been at Leeds United for a long time, will be interested. But that's in the future and we'll have to see what happens."
Gray will return to Leeds' Thorp Arch training ground today less than eight months after being told he had no future at the club and given a year's notice.
Reid brought in his own backroom staff and dispensed with the services of assistant manager Gray and fellow coach Brian Kidd as part of the cost-cutting at a club nearly £80 million sterling in debt.
Neil Warnock, Paul Hart, Gordon Strachan and George Graham have all been linked to the post.
