According to 90min, Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani is thinking about firing manager Javi Gracia.
Gracia replaced Jesse Marsch as Leeds' head coach in February, but despite a few promising early performances, the team has fallen apart, earning just one point in their previous five games while giving up a staggering 18 goals.
After starting April in the Premier League standings in 12th position, Leeds has now dropped to 16th, one point clear of the relegation zone despite having played one more game than the majority of the other teams trying to avoid the drop.
In a last-ditch effort to keep Leeds in the Premier League with four games remaining—Manchester City, Newcastle, West Ham, and Tottenham are still on the schedule for the Whites—Radrizzani is pondering making yet another change in the dugout.
Sources have confirmed to 90min that Radrizzani is in discussions with the rest of the Leeds management, including Victor Orta and Angus Kinnear, about making a change that might happen this week because he has grown concerned that the team is not responding to Gracia's techniques.
Following Sunday's 4-1 loss to Bournemouth, the Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board voted against Gracia and the Elland Road management team, prompting Radrizzani's concerns.
According to a statement, the Leeds United Supporters Advisory Board (SAB) "would like to place on record its lack of faith in the current management team at the club after the result and performance of the team today."
It is only fair that we also address the current performances and the circumstance we are currently in as the SAB has been supportive of many decisions this year and will always work with the club to improve how the club engages with its supporters and communities.
"Leeds United supporters have supported our club through its highs and lows and will continue to do so, but with four games remaining, this scenario is no longer manageable.
