Javi Gracia's contract admission that strikes perfect Leeds United tone

Leeds United's new head coach Javi Gracia has admitted that he accepted the job at Elland Road because he wants what's best for the Whites, and is there to try and help the club achieve their objective of avoiding relegation.

The Spaniard's contract with the Whites only runs until the end of the season, with the initial objective of his appointment being to simply stay in the Premier League.

Gracia joined the club after a lengthy two-week hiring process in which Michael Skubala helmed the ship as interim boss and despite some decent performances against Manchester United, a defeat to Everton saw Leeds slip into the drop zone for the first time this season.
