Javi Gracia seemed uncertain about his Leeds United future following Sunday’s heavy 4-1 loss to Bournemouth at Dean Court. The Whites knew that only a win would do against the Cherries if they were to breathe life into their hopes of achieving Premier League survival.
However, the result on the south coast has left the Whites staring down the barrel of relegation and with just four fixtures remaining, it seems there are major doubts about whether Gracia will be able to halt the slide. The head coach only arrived at Elland Road at the end of February and after collecting three wins from his opening six games, it seemed as though he was making a strong case for himself to take the job on a permanent basis in the summer.
The Spaniard has only been able to watch on, though, as United’s form has well and truly deserted them. Leeds have lost four of their last five outings in the top flight run-in, conceding 18 goals along the way and while they remain outside the Premier League’s relegation zone at present, recent results could prove to be costly.
