Former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy has claimed that Javi Gracia's appointment at Leeds United "ticks a lot of boxes" despite Watford's decision to sack the Spaniard back in 2019.
The 52-year-old arrives at Elland Road on a flexible contract as the Whites finally replace Jesse Marsch following a frantic two-week search. A vast array of names were linked with the top job - some good, some bad - and now Gracia has been confirmed as the person entrusted with the club's top-flight status for the remainder of the season.
He will have 15 matches to move Leeds out of the relegation zone. Gracia takes over with his new side in 19th, a point above last-placed Southampton and two points from safety.
