A large number of Leeds United fans were left scratching their heads when numerous media reports claimed that the club has appointed Thomas Christiansen as their new head coach.
The concern was not because of a poor reputation in football, it was purely because most had never heard of him.
The 44-year-old was not among the names being touted as potential successors to Garry Monk, so the news has come somewhat as a surprise.
Sky Sports, as well as other media outlets, have claimed that Leeds have handed the job to Christiansen, who has reportedly left his position as manager of Apoel Nicosia in Cyprus.
The Denmark-born former Spain international played for Barcelona and Villarreal during his professional career.
His time in management began in Cyprus in 2014 when he took over AEK Lanarca after a spell as assistant manager at Al Jazira in the United Arab Emirates the previous year.
Despite Leeds fans not having much knowledge of Christiansen, they are welcoming him with open arms.
