Leeds United boss Javi Gracia is in danger of losing his job following Sunday’s 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth, according to reports.
The Whites endured a torrid April which has left them in great danger of being relegated from the Premier League.
Sunday’s heavy loss made it 23 goals conceded in the entire month as Gracia led his side to one win, one draw and five losses from seven matches.
Crucially, the only games they did not lose were against relegation rivals Nottingham Forest and Leicester City, respectively.
Avoiding defeat in these two matches is clearly not good enough and after a grand total of 11 league games as head coach, Gracia’s future is being ‘considered’, according to The Athletic.

This clip has been described as ‘concerning’ and the club have urged the parents of the fan to come forward.
The full statement read: ‘As the first team squad at Leeds United, we wanted to reach out to the fan base regarding yesterday’s game and subsequent posts on social media.
‘Firstly, the performance was not good enough. There is no other way to look at it and the only way to respond is on the pitch. Leeds fans travel up and down the country in huge numbers and deserve more than this.
‘What is just as concerning to us as a group, is the video online of us leaving the hotel. Words can’t express how sorry we are that the youngster in the video wearing the Leeds kit is not shown…
