Kyle Bartley joined Leeds United on a season-long loan deal from Swansea City in the summer transfer window.
Leeds United defender Kyle Bartley has revealed to The Yorkshire Post head coach Garry Monk’s attitude at the club so far.
Monk was appointed the Leeds head coach in the summer following the departure of Steve Evans at the end of the 2015-16 season.
The former Swansea City manager arrived at Elland Road with a strong reputation, but the Englishman did not make a strong start.
The West Yorkshire outfit were at one stage in the bottom three, but they are now gradually moving up the Championship table.
Leeds have won their last three competitive matches and will head into this weekend’s Championship game against Ipswich Town at Elland Road with confidence.
Bartley, who is 25 years of age and joined Leeds on a season-long loan deal from Swansea City in the summer transfer window, has stated that Monk has been calm throughout his time at the club so far.
“The manager is fantastic,” Bartley told The Yorkshire Post. “I said when I first signed that he was one of the main reasons why I came to this club.
“I said in an interview last week that we have got one of, if not the best, managers in the Championship. He has remained calm through all the ups and downs.”
Leeds have a good team and should be pushing at least for a top-10 finish in the Championship this season.
The Whites do have the ambition of clinching a spot in the Championship playoffs, but it is not going to be easy for them.
