Javi Gracia has 15 games to keep Leeds United in the Premier League and convince the board that he is a worthy successor to Jesse Marsch at Elland Road.
The Spaniard, who previously managed Watford in the Premier League, has been appointed on a 'flexible contract', and ends Leeds' long and frustrating search for a new manager.
Gracia will be in the dugout for Leeds' next game against Southampton at Elland Road 'subject to obtaining the necessary work permissions'.
