Leeds confirmed this in a statement that was released on its official website on Wednesday, May 3rd, 2023. The decision to sack Javi Gracia was taken by the club following a series of bad results which could see them play in the Championship next season.
Big Sam as he is popularly called is known as one of the managers who has specialized in taking teams out of the relegation waters. Leeds will need his expertise as they look to survive relegation this season.
