United captain Jason Pearce has spoken for the first time about the club’s new head coach and he says that the squad are all ready for a new start.
Darko Milanič was announced as the new head coach on Tuesday evening and took his first training session the same day.
“We came in on Monday and Redders took training as normal,” explained Jason. “On Tuesday it was announced that the new head coach was coming in so all the boys were ready for a new start again.
“It has come off the back of four good results and we’ll give him a chance to show us what he can do and hopefully he can improve us.
“There is a lot of shape and organisation. Hopefully this will bring a different aspect to our game so that we are more solid as a team.
“To be fair we have only had a couple of days training now so it is difficult to say at the moment. We’ve got the international break coming up so he will probably be able to put in plenty of training in there.”
United head for Brentford this weekend, for what will be the new head coaches first match in the Leeds dug-out.
“We are looking to become more solid,” added Pearce. “That is the base to build on and then we’ll go and play on from there.
“We have got three games until the international break so hopefully we can do well and get some points.
“You want to keep on improving that defensive side of your game as a team.
“Even if you are doing well and getting clean sheets you still want to keep on working on it to make sure that it stays like that.”
United has seen many changes over the summer and the skipper is hoping this will see improvements.
“It is very different,” said the defender. “When I first came to the club nearly everyone was English.
“There were obviously a few foreign lads like Dioufy. I think that it is becoming like that in the English game, it is very continental.
“The players that have come in are good players and good lads. Hopefully that will improve the side.”
