Leeds United look set to appoint Ivan Bravo as their new Sporting Director, according to the Yorkshire Evening Post.

The former Real Madrid head of strategy is set to take up the role at Elland Role following the 50% takeover from Andrea Radrizzani this week.

The appointment would represent a shift in the way things are done at the club, but with Garry Monk impressing hugely during his first season in charge, there is expected to be little impact in terms of team selection and the say over transfers.

Bravo – who currently works in Qatar – is expected to once again attend the Leeds game today following a visit with Radrizzani to the game against Newcastle earlier in the season.

Leeds are currently flying in the Championship this season, occupying a playoff spot as they look to seal a return to the Premier League after over a decade in the wilderness.
