Nottingham Forest's relegation rivals Leeds United are ‘considering’ the future of manager Javi Gracia, with just four games of the season remaining, according to reports.
The former Watford boss only joined the club in February, taking over from Jesse Marsch who was sacked. Leeds saw an initial upturn in form under the new manager, winning three of their first seven games.
It has, however, gone downhill since then, with the Whites losing four of their five games. The results mean that Leeds are embroiled in a relegation battle alongside Forest, Everton, Leicester City and Southampton.
According to the Telegraph , Leeds are now ‘considering’ the future of Gracia, despite the season being so close to its end. The report claims that there were discussions among the Leeds board on Monday morning with the possibility of the club parting ways with the manager.

One option is said to be to reinstall coach Michael Skubala as interim manager until the end of the season in order to try to get another upturn in form. Leeds have one of the harder run-ins in the relegation race, as they face Man City, Newcastle, West Ham and Tottenham in their remaining four fixtures.
The Whites were on the end of a 4-1 defeat against AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Sunday afternoon. It’s a result that would have gone down well with Forest fans, as it keeps the Whites in touching distance following the Reds' 2-1 loss vs Brentford.
