Former Tottenham manager Tim Sherwood has warned Javi Gracia that even though he believes the Spaniard is a "good fit" at Leeds United, he has not managed a football club as big as the Whites before.
More than two weeks had passed since Leeds parted company with Jesse Marsch following a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest. A handful of coaches had since been linked with the top job at Elland Road, but Gracia was eventually confirmed as the new head coach on Tuesday afternoon.
The 52-year-old has Premier League experience and managed Watford to an 11th-placed top-flight finish in his first season in charge of the Hornets. In fact, Gracia also led them to an FA Cup final in 2019 - and although they would lose 6-0 to Manchester City in the final - the Hornets did superbly to even make it to Wembley.
