New contract for Bielsa

Leeds United have officially confirmed that the club’s head coach, Marcelo Bielsa has extended his contract with the club.

Bielsa, often called “El Loco” (The crazy one) took charge of the then Championship side in 2018 and narrowly missed out on promotion to the Premier League in his first season charge.

Last season however, he led the club to the Championship title in fantastic fashion, playing some eye-catching football in the process. The feat meant that Leeds United will be playing in the Premier League for the first time since 2004.

The club has now rewarded the tactician with a one-year contract which will keep him at the club through the 2020/21 season.

It will be the manager’s first experience in the Premier League despite several years of experience across the world including spells at Athletic Bilbao, Marseille, Espanyol and the Chilean national team.
