Following the appointment of Daniel Farke as first team manager, steps have been taken to restructure the football department within Leeds United.

We are pleased to announce that Gretar Steinsson has joined the club from Tottenham Hotspur in the role of technical director.

He will work alongside Nick Hammond, who will continue to oversee player trading throughout this window.

Adam Underwood will step up to become head of football operations, whilst Hannah Cox and Rob Price complete the team, as head of football administration and head of medicine and performance.

Chief executive Angus Kinnear said: “We welcome Gretar to Leeds, we believe he will be a fantastic part of a new look team, which has been assembled to support Daniel as we look to rebuild.

“Gretar, alongside the rest of the group, will manage the football department during this critical period.”
