Anyone know if this is a good move by Leeds?

Hard to say. He did well in the Championship with Norwich and it could be argued that their relegations were almost inevitable and not really his fault. I didn't follow the Bundesliga closely but I know Gladbach never found consistency last year and looking at the stats they seemed to have been leaky defensively which has been a weakness of his with Norwich too, particularly in the Premier League. His style of play is very positive when it's working, though.

I'd be cautiously optimistic overall, but more important will be whether the new owners can implement a better off-the-pitch structure and do better deals in the transfer market.

Doesn't bode well for improving Leeds already sieve-like defense. Hope he doesn't well though.
