Javi Gracia's first words on Leeds United appointment as new boss looks to 'change dynamic'

Leeds United head coach Javi Gracia has called on his to side to change the "dynamic" at the club in their battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League this season.

Gracia replaced Jesse Marsch earlier this week following a frantic search that lasted more than a fortnight to find a new manager. Signing on a flexible contract, the former Watford boss has 15 matches to move Leeds away from the foot of the table and out of the relegation zone come May.

Delays to a work permit being issued have meant that the 52-year-old is still in limbo over his involvement for Saturday's game against Southampton. The 52-year-old will no doubt be eager to lead his new side at Elland Road, as the Whites hope that he can provide the new manager bounce that Everton have seen glimpses of under Sean Dyche.
