JIMMY Floyd Hasselbaink has pushed himself into the picture for the vacant Leeds United manager's job.
The former Dutch international, who played for Nottingham Forest, Chelsea and Leeds, among others, has been out of work since leaving Antwerp in Belgium at the end of last season.
Recently, he was at Derby County's Moor Farm complex, observing training as a guest of the Rams' head coach Steve McClaren. He was on Forest's coaching staff while McClaren was manager at the City Ground.
"Leeds is a wonderful big club where I had two great years. If they want to talk to me, of course I would talk to them," said Hasselbaink.
He is the second former Leeds striker linked with the club this week: Robbie Fowler has also expressed an interest.
"I've got experience, I know I could take the club forward and I know I can take the club back to where they need to go," added Hasselbaink.
"But what do Leeds United themselves want? That's the most important question. How do they see things? At the moment there are so many things going on they need to sort out first, or maybe they have already."
