Birmingham City boss Garry Monk insists he's proud of his work at Championship rivals Leeds United.

Monk is braced for a hostile reception today when he goes to Elland Road.

Monk, boss at Birmingham since March, said: “When I went there it was very much a divided club.

“There was lots of infighting and disconnection and by the end of our time, the club was united again. I will always be proud of that. It was the first time in a long time people were talking about what was going on on the pitch.

“I have spoken to Andrea since I have departed, those differences are put to one side now.

“We have spoken on the phone and texted. We both saw it differently at the time and it didn't match up unfortunately.

“It was a shame as we were looking to continue the foundations we put there. Going back, it's always going to be a hostile crowd anyway with a full house with them top of the league, but it is not about me."
