Former Leeds United manager Javi Gracia has defended his record at the relegation-threatened club and called for greater stability in the Premier League after being sacked and replaced by Sam Allardyce until the end of the campaign.
The 53-year-old Spaniard's dismissal took the number of managerial changes in the top-flight to 13 this season. "I analysed the games we played a lot and we competed with the teams around us. We got 11 points in my 11 matches, while Everton got eight points, Leicester City and Southampton took six and Forest five. So everyone else down there got fewer.
Gracia, the second Leeds manager to be sacked this season after they parted ways with American Jesse Marsch in February, lasted two-and-a-half months at the Elland Road.
