Searching for Jesse Marsch’s successor at Leeds United ends today with the appointment of Javi Gracia. The 52-year-old has agreed terms on a contract which the club has described as flexible.
Gracia has been out of work since June 2022, when he was replaced at Qatari outfit Al Sadd by one of Pep Guardiola’s former assistants, Juan Manuel Lillo. The Spaniard arrives at Leeds with the club 19th in the Premier League on two wins from their last 20 matches.
Michael Skubala has overseen three matches as caretaker boss with a spirited one point from six against in-form Manchester United and a dire loss at struggling Everton. It remains to be seen which role he now takes up.
