Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani has sacked director of football Victor Orta.

The Daily Mail says Orta has followed manager Javi Gracia out of Leeds this morning.

It's claimed Orta had urged Radrizzani to give Gracia more time, but the Italian chose to sack the Spaniard.

Sam Allardyce is set to be named Gracia's replacement.

Orta was hired by Radrizzani in 2017, helping build a team which saw Leeds return to the Premier League after 16 years away.

The Spaniard won't be short of offers, having been linked with PSG and Olympique Marseille earlier this year.
