Leeds United are considering sacking Javi Gracia in a desperate bid to avoid relegation with four games to go.
The Spaniard was only appointed 10 weeks ago but Sunday's 4-1 surrender at Bournemouth was Leeds' fourth defeat in five, and they are out of the drop zone on goal difference alone.
Mail Sport understands Leeds owner Andrea Radrizzani is now weighing up making another managerial change in the hope that a new voice can spark the players into life before it is too late.
He has asked his director of football Victor Orta to see if he can find a firefighter to bring in before Saturday's visit to league leaders Manchester City.
