Leeds United's interim coach Neil Redfearn is given extra time to prove his managerial credentials.

Neil Redfearn will be in charge of Leeds United for the club's next three matches at least, according to chairman Ken Bates.

Redfearn was put in interim charge following the sacking of Simon Grayson earlier this month.

However, the 46-year-old has now been handed an extended period to show the club's board his management skills.

"I'm happy to say that Neil will be in charge for at least the next three games," Bates told Yorkshire Radio.

"That's Brighton, Coventry, and Doncaster. Those three games are all very winnable.

"After all the maelstrom we're only two points off the play-offs so we've decided that after his impressive start, not just with his win, but his presence around Thorp Arch that he will be given his chance to his demonstrate his abilities while we consider the future."

Redfearn joined the coaching staff at Elland Road in 2009.
