Leeds assistant Benat Labaien has departed.

After a day of incomings, one coach at Leeds has slipped away.
Benat Labaien, brought in by Victor Orta, has departed to take up a new job in La Liga with Real Sociedad.

Diario Vasco reported that Labaien’s role will be chief analyst.
He arrived at Leeds last summer in the role of assistant coach.
Labaien left Leeds with a positive feeling, sending an emotional message via Twitter to the club’s fans.
Labaien particularly thanked sporting director Victor Orta for his support during his time at Elland Road.

Leeds had a difficult season last year, finishing in 13th place in the Championship.
The Whites are now moving in a new direction under new boss Marcelo Bielsa, who is bringing in a large number of backroom staff to support his work.
