Javi Gracia is ready to become the new manager of Leeds United, according to The Daily Mail.
Javi Gracia willing to become new Leeds manager
The report has claimed that Leeds are considering hiring the former Watford boss as their new manager.
The West Yorkshire club have been on the hunt for a new manager since sacking Jesse Marsch.
Leeds are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League to the Championship at the end of the season.
The Daily Mail have reported that Gracia is available now and is willing to accept a short-term contract.
Could a move happen?
In our view, if Javi Gracia is willing to sign a contract until the end of the season, then Leeds United could appoint him as their new manager.
After all, Leeds need someone who can keep them in the Premier League.
That has to be their main priority right now.
Just forget about a long-term plan.
For now, staying in the Premier League is the key.
And if Gracia thinks that he can save Leeds from relegation and if the club believe that he is the right manager for the job for the short term, then they should do a deal.
Described as “very competitive” by former teammate Ricardo Sá Pinto in The Guardian in January 2018, the 52-year-old Spaniard was the manager of Watford from January 2018 until September 2019.
