"We wanted to appoint someone who can help us create a winning culture at the club and unite everyone connected with Leeds United, from the players to the supporters, ultimately taking the club back to where we all feel we belong.

"Thomas was someone who had been on our radar from the very early stages of the process and quickly established himself as the outstanding candidate. We are confident we have found a man with who can work with us to take the club to the next level."

Christiansen began his playing career at Barcelona and went on to play for clubs in Denmark and Germany too, leading the Bundesliga scoring charts in the 2001-02 season.
