Javi Gracia has been sacked by Leeds United this morning.

The Daily Mail says the Spaniard was saying farewell to the players and staff this morning.

Leeds chairman Andrea Radrizzani has acted after defeat at Bournemouth left them a point outside the dropzone.

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

Gracia leaves after just two months in charge, having replaced Jesse Marsch. Leeds have earned just one point from their past five games, conceding 18 goals in the process.

It's also claimed the players were lacking motivation under Gracia, which resulted in their 4-1 defeat at Bournemouth.
