Leeds United supporters have hailed Javi Gracia for the way in which he conducted himself during Friday afternoon's pre-match press conference ahead of a vital Premier League clash with Southampton.
News of Gracia's work permit being approved came through just 15 minutes before the Spaniard was due to speak to the media ahead of Saturday's match against the Saints. The former Watford boss will be in the dugout at Elland Road where fans will be ready and waiting to welcome with open arms the man tasked with maintaining their top-flight status.
The Spaniard will have 15 matches to move Leeds up and out of the bottom three come May and that will start with a crucial relegation clash against the south coast club. Gracia refused to give too much information away during his first outing with the media, as he spoke with authority on a wide range of topics.
