Former Leeds United manager Simon Grayson has been appointed head coach of Indian side Bengaluru on a two-year deal in a surprising move. The 52-year-old has been out of management since being sacked by Fleetwood Town last season, after less than a full campaign in charge leaving the side just above the relegation zone.
The former Leeds gaffer had four solid seasons as Leeds boss - boasting a 49% win rate, including promotion back up to the Championship in the 2009/10 season after they defeated Bristol Rovers on the final day of a season that also saw Manchester United defeated in the FA Cup third round.
A full season in the Championship would follow before Grayson was eventually sacked in February 2012 after a poor run of results.
