New Leeds United manager Garry Monk has outlined his ambition for the upcoming campaign and understands that there may be challenges that lay ahead in his new role.
The former Swansea City boss who signed a rolling one-year deal last Thursday is confident that with the right work and tweaks, the Whites can achieve a successful season at Elland Road.
"I haven't come here to do the average or be mediocre,"? Monk told "?Leeds United's official website.
"It's the ambition for the club to go forward, which is what we all want.
"The Premier League is what we are here for and we can't shy away from that. I'm an ambitious person myself so it went hand in hand.
"We want to achieve promotion to the Premier League and every club in this league will tell you the same, but the club that we are and the plan that we need to put in place can hopefully achieve that."
Monk revealed that he is relishing the pressures and challenges that surrounds the Leeds job and believes that he and his new club are a perfect match.
Monk added: "It's not to add pressure to us, it's to embrace it. We're at a club where if we get it right and we make a few tweaks to certain areas, then we can definitely achieve a good season.
"I haven't been given a total "?you have to achieve this' but we all want to achieve that and that's what I am here for.
"After speaking with the owner deeply about football and about the way he wants to take the club forward "? his knowledge of football was very, very good and very extensive "? it matched mine and it matched my ambition.
"I'm a young manager but I'm not a manager that wants to take the easy route, I want to have challenges put in front of me and big challenges.
"This is a big challenge but what a fantastic club to come and take that challenge on."?
