Marcelo Bielsa Leeds Manager

The Argentine manager was expected to be snapped from services after his contract ended at the end of the championship. This was no new situation for Bielsa as he had a similar scenario in 2018-19 after the defeat to Derby. However, to everyone’s surprise, he renewed his contract for the next season.

Recently, the 65-year old manager once again repeated history by extending his contract for another 12 months. The team will be looking forward to bring glory in the guidance of their experienced gaffer.
