Leeds United manager Javi Gracia will look to use former Newcastle United coach Mikel Antia to give the Whites an edge with set-pieces this season as the Whites boss confirms his backroom staff.
Antia was part of Rafa Benitez's backroom team at Newcastle when they won the Championship in 2017. Since departing Tyneside in 2019, the former Magpies coach now finds himself moving to West Yorkshire following a spell in the United States.
Gracia knows Antia well from the time they spent together during their playing days. The pair were teammates at Real Sociedad in the late 1990s, but the duo have never worked together in a coaching capacity before.
