Leeds United have confirmed the appointment of Uwe Rosler as the club's new head coach.

The 46-year-old German, who has signed a two-year contract, replaces Neil Redfearn at Elland Road.

However, the Championship outfit have yet to formally announce Redfearn's departure.

Rosler, whose former clubs include Molde and Brentford, had been out of work since being sacked by Wigan Athletic back in November 2014.
