Leeds looks set to hire Javi Gracia as next manager

LEEDS, England (AP) — Leeds seems to be near hiring Javi Garcia as supervisor of the struggling Premier League workforce after the Spanish coach arrived at Elland Road on Tuesday.

It can be Gracia’s second job in England’s prime division, after a spell at Watford from 2018-19.

Leeds has been looking for a alternative for Jesse Marsch, who was fired on Feb. 6 after almost a 12 months in cost.

Michael Skubala, who had been teaching Leeds’ under-21 workforce, was positioned in interim cost for the final three video games. In that point, Leeds has dropped into the relegation zone and is at present in next-to-last place.

Gracia has been out of labor since leaving Qatari workforce Al Sadd in June.

Leeds’ subsequent recreation is towards last-place Southampton on Saturday.
