Former Leeds United manager Simon Grayson was appointed head coach of Indian side Bengaluru earlier this morning on a two-year deal in a surprising move. The 52-year-old has been out of management since being sacked by Fleetwood Town last season, after less than a full campaign in charge leaving the side just above the relegation zone.
The former Leeds gaffer had four solid seasons as Leeds boss - boasting a solid win rate percentage, including promotion back up to the Championship in the 2009/10 season.
Grayson, like many Leeds United managers who left the club, have had troubling times as managers of other clubs elsewhere. Here we look back at their time as Leeds United manager, and see where they are now.

Neil Warnock (36.5% win) - Retired
The legendary Yorkshire manager had a tough time as Leeds United boss, being sacked after just over a year.
He would go on to coach at Crystal Palace, QPR, Rotherham United, Cardiff City and Middlesbrough before retiring from management last month.
Brian McDermott (37.1% win) - No current role
McDermott was given a three-year deal after an impressive spell at Reading where he was harshly sacked. He came in towards the end of the 2012/13 campaign to steady the ship into the summer.
His first full season saw them start slow, but surged up the table into the playoffs by Christmas. But then, they would continue to fall down the table before finishing mid table, where they would be the following season before he was sacked.
Dave Hockaday (33.3% win) - Head of male football at South Gloucestershire and Stroud College
What an era this was. Leeds appointed formerly sacked Forest Green Rovers manager Dave Hockaday, which Leeds United fans were left stunned by. He was given an insanely low salary with many questioning what on earth was going on at the football club.
In pre-season, though, optimism begun to grew when they defeated an Italian team 16-0.
However, when the season started, Hockaday would be sacked after just six games. He then joined a non-league side as an advisor, before retiring from management to work at a college in Gloucestershire.
Darko Milanic (0% win) - No current role
So who did Leeds United decide to turn to after hiring an unknown in Hockaday? You guessed it, another unknown.
Darko Milanic was the man, former manager of Sturm Graz in Austria.
He lasted six games, winning a grand total of zero of them.
He would go on to coach Maribor and Pafos.
Neil Redfearn (33.3% win) - Sheffield United Women
A likeable character in Leeds after becoming interim manager on numerous occasions, Neil Redfearn was finally given the role full time and did somewhat steady the ship after a horrific start to the season under Hockaday and Milanic.
He was put in a tough position when he was told he couldn't select top scorer Mirko Antenucci, because of a contract clause which meant if he scored one more goal he would be given incentives.
Redfearn left the club after that season, and went on to coach Rotherham United before moving to women's football.
Uwe Rosler (16.6% win) - No current role
Brought in to Leeds after impressing at Brentford and Wigan, Uwe Rosler just never got going in West Yorkshire - lasting just 12 games and managing two wins.
He would go on to have an impressive spell at Fleetwood Town, before a solid year at Malmo. He recently left Fortuna Dusseldorf and remains out of work.
Steve Evans (36.8% win) - Stevenage
Steve Evans joined after Rosler's disastrous start to the campaign after leaving Rotherham the previous month - where he was replaced by Neil Redfearn.
Evans season was actually somewhat impressive, leading the team out of the relegation zone to a 13th placed finish whilst integrating a number of young players into the side such as Lewie Coyle, Bailey Peacock-Farrell and Ronaldo Vieira.
But at the end of the season, the Leeds board chose not to extend his contract, and he would leave the club.
He's now manager of Stevenage in League Two after stints at Mansfield, Peterborough and Gillingham.
Garry Monk (47.2% win) - No current role
Garry Monk would spend one season at Leeds United, and it's one he should be proud of.
He would lead the team to a strong season, but would miss out of the playoffs on the final day of the season after finishing in 7th.
It really hasn't gone well for Monk since he left Leeds, being sacked from Middlesbrough, Birmingham and Sheffield Wednesday. He remains out of work.
Monk has the strongest win percentage of any Leeds manager since Grayson.
Thomas Christiansen (45% win) - Panama national team
Joining as an unknown from Cypriot side APOEL, Thomas Christensen was the first manager appointed by Andrea Radrizzani. Christensen would start the season strongly, leading Leeds to an early playoff push.
But after the new year, Leeds would go on a poor run, and Christiansen was somewhat harshly sacked.
He would go on to manager in Belgium, before taking on the Panama national team job.
Paul Heckingbottom (25% win) - Sheffield United
Former Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom was the man given the reigns on an 18-month deal to see out the season, but Leeds would finish it poorly, winning just four of 16 games and finishing 13th in the table.
Heckingbottom was sacked during pre-season, before going on to manage Hibernian, whilst now being in charge of Sheffield United.
Marcelo Bielsa (47.1% win) - No current role
A legend. Marcelo Bielsa took over the side in what was a huge coup, and he would go on to impress from year one - integrating 'Bielsa ball' with the team playing some of the best football that Elland Road had seen in years.
He would miss out on promotion in his first season, but would lead Leeds to winning the Championship in his second year - finishing 10 points above second placed West Brom.
Leeds were expected to struggle in their first year back in the top flight, but they would go on to shock the league with a ninth place finish - one place below Arsenal and above Everton and Aston Villa.
In their second season in the Premier League though, Leeds would mightily struggle. The fans still sang Bielsa's name, but he would be sacked in February with Leeds 16th in the table.
