Javi Gracia has broken his silence on his Leeds United tenure with a statement after his sacking. The dismissed head coach has thanked fans for their support, as well as his backroom team, who oversaw more points during his time in charge than any of their direct rivals.
“I’m grateful for this opportunity and proud of the team, both players and coaching staff,” he said. “That's how I would like to summarise my time at Leeds United.
“I would have preferred a different moment, but the circumstances have changed. We arrived on a short three-month contract and we did it because we believed in this team.
