New Leeds United boss Javi Gracia is still waiting for the finalization of his work permit.

The Spanish coach is set to take over permanently at the Elland Road club.

However, Gracia will have a short term contract to the end of this season.

PerThe Mirror, he is now waiting for clearance form the UK government to begin his work.

He requires a governing body endorsement (GBE) by the Football Association to begin the job.

Having worked in the Premier League in the past, Gracia should not have too many issues getting his permit.
