Leeds United caretaker manager Neil Redfearn says he has the right credentials to take on the job on a permanent basis.

The 46-year-old reserve-team and Academy coach was placed in temporary charge at Elland Road on Wednesday following the sacking of Simon Grayson, assistant boss Glynn Snodin and coach Ian Miller.

Former Barnsley and Charlton midfielder Redfearn, who has previously managed Scarborough and Northwich Victoria, told Sky Sports: "I'm capable that goes without saying, but the bottom line is the decision is up to the club. The decision is out of my hands.

"From my point of view, I'm only interested in Saturday's game and making sure everything's ready for whatever happens and whatever happens I will take it in my stride.

"I'm not putting myself under any pressure either way. I'm in this position now and have still got a lot of good friends at this club that I want to help through in the short-term future, and if I can get some results for Leeds United and if that benefits whatever happens then great."

Redfearn left his position as caretaker manager at York to take over as Leeds' Under-18s coach in January 2009.
