Javi Gracia: Leeds United name ex-Watford boss as Jesse Marsch's replacement

Leeds United say they have agreed terms with former Watford boss Javi Gracia to replace Jesse Marsch as manager.

Marsch was sacked on 6 February but Leeds have faced several setbacks in their hunt for his replacement.

Spaniard Gracia, 52, took Watford to the FA Cup final in 2019, before managing Valencia and Qatari club Al Sadd.

Leeds are 19th in the Premier League and face bottom club Southampton on Saturday.
