I speak with my family on the phone, that’s all.” “I watch the games, the Premier League for example, both (Wednesday night’s) games and at night, I sleep. “I live in the training ground, 12 hours here and the rest is for having dinner, to rest at the hotel. “I live stressed! I don’t have time out of football. Gracia, who has collected four points from his first three league games in charge, currently lives in a hotel and is fully immersed in the survival battle.
Leeds dug deep in last week’s 2-2 home draw against Brighton, twice hitting back to salvage a valuable point, and play at relegation rivals Wolves on Saturday.
“In this moment, they need confidence and support because they are showing me every day their quality and commitment.” “For sure, inside I suffer a lot, but I try to give my players what they need. “I won’t help them if I’m stressed or shouting a lot. “The best way I can try and help my players is to try to give them confidence and give them the calm they need to play the best way. The 52-year-old Spaniard said: “I feel the stress inside and it’s the best way, the best thing I can do. Leeds head coach Javi Gracia has admitted he will “suffer a lot” during the club’s Premier League relegation battle … Leeds need points too at the bottom of the Premier League, and Javi Gracia has been talking ahead of their game at Wolves tomorrow. The former Eagles captain has guided the under-21s to fourth place in Premier League 2 Division 1, and would be a welcome familiar face – potentially even to see out the season while the club, unlikely to want to make a rash decision, determine their next steps. Someone will at the very least need to sit in the manager’s chair when Palace travel to Vieira’s former club Arsenal on Sunday, and as it stands that man looks set to be under-21s manager Paddy McCarthy. He also has a background in nurturing young talent, something that could become even more important if 30-year-old talisman Wilfried Zaha signs elsewhere this summer. Though the Austrian was sacked by following an abysmal start to Southampton’s campaign this term, he is no stranger to a relegation battle, having guided Saints out of danger following his December 2018 appointment before he ensured their survival in every subsequent season. Still, his two years at the helm of Borussia Dortmund, an outfit known for nurturing young talents like Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham, could also appeal to decision makers at Palace, a club increasingly relying on youthful talent like 21-year-old Michael Olise, 24-year-old Eberechi Eze and 19-year-old goalkeeper Joe Whitworth.įavre was the first coach in BVB history to go unbeaten in his first 15 league games in charge – he would have just 11 to turn things around at Palace.įormer Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl is among the favourites on a number of bookmakers’ lists to replace Vieira. Swissman Lucien Favre’s second spell at Nice came to an abrupt end in January after less than seven months.
That international background could appeal to compatriot and American co-owner John Textor, whose multi-club Eagle Football Holdings also includes stakes in Lyon, Botafogo and Molenbeek. Like Vieira, has experience managing in both the Premier League and MLS, and also guided RB Salzburg to an Austrian Bundesliga title in 2020. Jesse Marsch has been out of a job since he was let go by Leeds early last month. Hodgson once again insisted he was finished with the Premier League following that spell, but the 75-year-old might be coaxed into the idea of serving as a temporary solution to see the Eagles through the relegation battle before a more permanent appointment is made this summer. Vieira’s predecessor did not stay away from football for long, and in January 2022 took the reins at Watford. Here’s a bit on a handful of them from PA:įormer England boss Roy Hodgson spent four seasons in charge of Palace before retiring at the end of the 2020-21 season.
