Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has claimed that Javi Gracia "will do very well" at Leeds United as he hailed the Whites' decision to appoint the former Watford boss as their new head coach.
Gracia's arrival at Elland Road puts to bed weeks of speculation following Jesse Marsch's departure more than a fortnight ago. Alfred Schreuder, Rafa Benitez, Arne Slot, Andoni Iraola and even Harry Redknapp were all linked with the top job at Leeds prior to Tuesday afternoon's confirmation that the Spaniard will take charge on a flexible contract.
Gracia brings with him a wealth of Premier League experience from his time at Watford. He led the Hornets to an 11th-place finish in the top-flight alongside an FA Cup final appearance during his first season in charge at Vicarage Road.
