Leeds have confirmed the management team that will take charge of their Premier League clash with Manchester United on Wednesday.
Previous boss Jesse Marsch was given his marching orders on Monday following a poor run of form which has dragged the Whites into another relegation scrap.
Leeds confirm interim staff to replace Marsch
The 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest proved to be the final straw, capping off an awful few months which have seen Leeds win just twice in 17 league games.
Above the bottom three only by virtue of goal difference, Leeds face back-to-back games against rivals Man Utd and have now confirmed the coaching staff who will guide the squad through Wednesday's first game.
A statement reads:
"Following the announcement of the departure of head coach Jesse Marsch, Leeds United can confirm Chris Armas, Michael Skubala and Paco Gallardo will take training at Thorp Arch on Tuesday and will be in the dugout for Wednesday’s Premier League fixture against Manchester United at Old Trafford."
Big picture
Armas was hired as an assistant coach under Ralf Rangnick at Old Trafford from December 2021 to May 2022. He joined Leeds last month as an assistant to his countryman Marsch, but now appears set to be thrust into the spotlight in the wake of Marsch's sacking.

Armas will be hoping to make a big impact and potentially give the Leeds hierarchy a decision to make.
