The Whites sit in 17th place tonight following Leicester City’s 2-2 draw with Everton. Concerns have risen that head coach Javi Gracia could be sacked after the 4-1 defeat to Bournemouth on Sunday. The Spaniard has only been in charge at Elland Road for over two months, appointed in February as successor to Jesse Marsch. The display at Bournemouth and the recent poor form of the team may see him dismissed soon.
Gracia is still Leeds head coach for the meantime, with players due to return to training on Tuesday morning, but the board at Elland Road have spent the past 24 hours considering their next move.
