Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino has confirmed that the club will appoint Darko Milanic as its new manager on Wednesday.
The Slovenian has left his job with Austrian side Sturm Graz to take over at Elland Road with Cellino stating that he will be unveiled by the Championship outfit after signing a two-year deal to take over from interim boss Neil Redfearn.
Milanic will step into the job vacated by Dave Hockaday in late August and Cellino is looking forward to getting him started.
"Yes, we agreed a two-year deal. He's just arrived today. We've been waiting for him about 15 days," Cellino told Sky Sports News HQ.
"I don't know (why I've chosen him). The coaches are like watermelons. You find out about them when you open them.
"His particular qualities? He's good looking, what can I tell you?
"He was a very good counter-attacking defender with Partizan Belgrade and Sturm Graz, and a good coach with Maribor for four years and took the club to the Champions League and Europa League, and he made it good as player and coach and he likes the Premier League.
"He gave up his place in the Premier League in Austria to come to the Championship with Leeds, and we hope that the club in Leeds is a good chance for him to have a good team and an important club to run, so he can make us proud.
"He does not talk much and is very pragmatic. I like him. He is a very cool guy."
