Javi Gracia is still waiting to be given the green light to get work at Leeds United. The head coach was appointed on Tuesday, subject to a work permit, and at the time of writing that work permit still hasn’t come through.
Michael Skubala will be in charge until Gracia can take the reins fully but the Spaniard will hope the paperwork is signed off in time to take charge of the game against Southampton on Saturday. It’s a must-win game for Leeds, who know a win could be enough to pull them out of the bottom three.
Anything other than three points against the side currently propping up the division would certainly make Gracia’s job harder moving forward. Therefore, the sooner he can get to work with his side, the better.
