According to The Athletic, Javi Gracia will initially join Leeds United as the head coach until the end of the season.
Javi Gracia to join Leeds until end of the season
The report published this morning has claimed that Leeds are set to appoint Gracia as their new head coach.
The West Yorkshire club have been on the hunt for a new manager following the dismissal of Jesse Marsch.
Leeds are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of the season.
Good decision
In our view, it is a good decision from Leeds United to appoint Javi Gracia as their manager until the end of the season.
That Leeds are only now about to hire Gracia shows that the former Watford manager was not one of their top choices.
So, getting the Spaniard in for the rest of the season makes sense.
It is a short-term appointment, and that is what Leeds want at the moment.
After all, making long-term plans and having lofty ambition is all good, but the main objective now for Leeds is to make sure that they stay in the Premier League.
