Leeds United are considering sacking Javi Gracia – and could bring Michael Skubala back into the dugout.
That is according to a report from The Telegraph, who claim that Gracia is now in danger of losing his job.
It’s stated that the Leeds board have been having discussions this morning over Gracia’s future.
Sunday’s 4-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth could prove to be the end for Gracia.
It’s suggested that Leeds are considering a short-term appointment to try and salvage their Premier League status.
The report claims that Leeds could reinstall Skubala as head coach until the end of the season.
Skubala served as Leeds’ caretaker manager following the sacking of Jesse Marsch back in February.
Leeds United players and officials allegedly really like Skubala and he could be given the reins until the summer.
Javi Gracia seems like a dead man walking at Leeds United
Gracia seemed to be a steady hand of an appointment after spells at Watford and Valencia.
The Spaniard claimed three wins in his first six games in charge, seemingly helping Leeds turn a corner.
However, the wheels have really come off again in the last five games.
Leeds have leaked a staggering 18 goals in those five games and appear to be completely devoid of confidence.
Leeds are still outside of the relegation zone right now, but only by one point – and their run-in is daunting.
Manchester City away, Newcastle United at home, West Ham United away, Tottenham Hotspur at home.
Where are the points coming from? Gracia doesn’t look like the man to guide Leeds to safety and Victor Orta may well have to bite the bullet and make yet another managerial change.
